sonar Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 When using shift/mouse to select group, if the box is drawn over a unit that can't see the other units, these units dissapear and you are unable to group select. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Is that a designed FOW issue in Elite level 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonar Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I don't see why this would be, after all it's a shortcut to select a large group of units. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewood Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I'm just curious. Seemed like one of the things that would be effected by it. Trying any coordination in Elite requires good command and control. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was the suggestion of a bug in the Tech Support forum with disappearing units. To check, you'd need to try it in something other than Elite mode and see if they still disappear. However, given the way spotting works, this may well not be a bug. One way around it is to make sure you select the rearmost unit of the group first and work your way forward - then the group select units are visible all the time. I do this by shift and left clicking units individually rather than lasso-ing. Alternatively you can double-click the HQ(s) as appropriate which selects all subordinate units too.

thewood Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Actually the best way is to not select anything before the lasso. With nothing selected all units show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonar Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have not been selecting anything before lassoing. Going by whats been said It looks like it is linked to spotting, oh well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
