The targeting vectors work fine for all groups and units if you select "Show All".

But if you just go with "Show Selected", you have to be in Unit view to see the targeting vectors. The only way you'll see vectors is if the "group" is actually just a single platform.

It would be great if Targeting Vectors would show for Groups when Targeting Vectors are set to "Selected Unit".

Here's what it looks like now:

Show All Targeting Vectors - Group View: Too Many Damn Vectors!


Show Only Selected Targeting Vectors - Group View: Vectors AWOL!


Show Only Selected Targeting Vectors - Unit View: Vectors return!

Groups are not targeting, individual units are [:)]

Good point. Didn't think of that!

But why then does "Show All" work, even for Groups?

I guess I'm saying that if you could do for Groups whatever you're doing in "Show All", but do it for "Show Selected", that would be really useful to ensure that your Group is going after the right target. It's a little clunky to have to activate "Show All", then move the map so it refreshes - all just so you can check this.

Now, I could just show Units. I'm guessing that's the best way to do this in the meantime?

PS - I've since discovered that your Friendly AI routines are actually a bit more intelligent than me. So my need to check that they've picked up the right target has decreased substantially. Sorry - I played a lot of Harpoon, you know
