i Squad Remote right click drag should do selection

4 years ago

If you're holding the squad remote, I think you should be able to use right click drag to immediately create a new unit selection without having to hit the hotkey. This would make the it much easier to create new squad selections to command them, and it would be easier to sustain controlling multiple separate squads at the same time.

thanks for your suggestion, can't do a rightclick drag (because the remote is a different 'internal' item and cannot do the blueprint selection box) but i'll add a right click switch between commanding and selecting

Awesome, it works great! I can feel my APM rising already! (from 10-12 lol)

I made a short clip of exactly what I was hoping to be able to demo with this request: https://youtu.be/-g-knE_9rto Maybe I'll make another one where I'm actually doing something interesting. :)

Honestly, I think this behavior is so much better that I think it should be the default behavior of the remote! Though I also like the other small features that might not get as much attention if it were built in.

Thank you for the great mod!
