Waypoint functionality

Post by Deathtreader »


Hi all,

Just wondering if waypoints will now support sequential tasking. As an example:

move hasty from waypoint 1 to waypoint 3

move deliberate to waypoint 4

attack from waypoint 4 to waypoint 5

Would be nice! [&o]

So we're at war with the Russkies eh?? I suppose we really ought to invade or something. (Lonnnng pause while studying the map)
Hmmmm... big place ain't it??

Yes. You select a movement order, plot waypoints, adjust waypoints if you want and then you can go into the unit's dashboard and alter the order for any waypoint to do what you describe above. As a bonus, you can also set the unit's SOPs for each of those points as well. The one caveat, If you do a formation move, you will have to adjust each unit's waypoints for an order change. Hopefully, in the future we can get that to be part of a formation move setup, but not right now.
OTS is looking forward to Southern Storm getting released!
