Shift-Move not working?

Post by elmo3 »

I put the mouse over a stack of units. I believe then holding Shift and dragging should move all of the stack to the same hex. It only moves the top unit. Not sure if it's a bug or I'm not doing something right.

I believe you just left click on the stack, or hit the F key when over the stack, and then drag the whole thing.

I'll try those options. Hotkey list says Shift and drag so maybe it needs to be corrected.

Mousing over a stack and hitting F highlights all the units in the stack and then allows you to move them all at once.

I have experienced the same thing as the OP. But I found that it does work if you press and hold "Shift" *before* you press and hold the mouse button (it may also require a long enough delay as well, I am not sure). If you "rush" it and try to press shift at the same moment as clicking and moving it "misses" the state of shift and only moves the top unit. It would be really good if this could be made more forgiving, it's a great feature but unfortunately have to retrain my muscle memory to use it.

Oh, that's right. Mmm...might be difficult to fix... it selects the units on the mouse click and if the Shift isn't pressed then, it's too late...will have a look to see if I can do anything...
(In 1.0.0 the SHIFT-M didn't work at all, but in 1.0.1 it should work but Shift before click!)
Thanks,
