Agua Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've seen mention in several posts here that you can click on a way point, choose "target", and check LOS from the waypoint. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but this is not working for me. Each time I click on the way point, the target line / los originates from the current position of the unit selected not the waypoint location. Do I need to hold down shift or alt or something? Is this a RTFM question? Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is slightly confusing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drescher Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 One of the most helpfull commands in the cmx2 engine, i think. YOu can even pick a unit, set a waypoint at an enemy unit and see everything the enemy unit has LOS to, feels almost like cheating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 It's a bit more obvious once you've set it once, since a new 'targetting line' will appear, and that one's origin is the waypoint you're working from. I have to admit to being somewhat puzzled as to why the 'scanning line' can't be made to originate from the position of the waypoint rather than the unit's current position. The origin for the calculations obviously has to have moved... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
