Numpad army switching problem
Posted: Mon 28 Nov, 2016 6:57 am
Ok so i had myradal ages ago make me a piece of code that allowed players to bind all squads that are binded from 1 to 0 to the numpad. Meaning you could have ten tactical marines (that are binded to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) binded to the numpad 1 and ten scouts (binded to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) to num pad 2. And that player could switch between numpad 1 and 2 to micro each squad in their respective armies individually.
Now I have run into some problems and a few i have been able to fix however there is one problem i could use some help on.
As we all know as we play this game we tend to mash on a squads key multiple times. I have done the same thing to the numpads. However when i do this all of my squads are then binded to that army like i am selecting all of my squads. Then i have to go and rebind all of the squads to their proper armies.
Now this is the problem I want to fix the most atm. I'll put his code down below.
My other requests are:
2- When the numpad # is hit multiple times is it possible to move the camera to the squad that is binded to the "1" spot?
3- When I hit "~" it tells me parameter 2 is invalid, expects int but received nil. What does that mean exactly?
4- Is it also possible to automatically bind all that squad to 1-0 only when they are moved to a specific num pad? An example being i have 2 tacs binded to numpad 1 but i want to move then to num pad 2. Atm when i do, the number they are binded to is the when the squad was actually produced/spawned in. So the tacs would be immediately bound to 3 or 5 or no binding.
Sorry if i don't make any sense. I can try and explain better if needed.
