Description (last modified by vts) (diff)
The Waypoint flags should have the following properties:
Factional: I've made 6 waypoint flags, one for each of the game's factions. I've put them all in one actor, with 6 variations, one for each faction. Let me know if this is adequate or if 6 separate actors are needed (very easy for me to make).
Implemented as of [10704].
Visibility: Waypoint flags should be visible in FOW (Fog of War) foremost; secondarily could possibly be visible in SOD (Shroud of Darkness).
See #908.
- Extended to Units: Waypoint flags should show up for unit movement as well, not just for building rally points. Tasking a unit to move somewhere should show a Waypoint flag at that spot. Selecting a moving unit should show a flag at where he is tasked to move. Tasking a unit to different waypoints should show a flag at each waypoint. These would only show up when the unit is selected and if the unit is one under the control of the player.

Replying to Mythos_Ruler:
- Extended to Units: Waypoint flags should show up for unit movement as well, not just for building rally points.
The rally line implementation could possibly be shared with way points, so we'd have rendered lines connecting waypoints in addition to flags. I think that basic capability would be nice for trade, too, so there are multiple features that would benefit. If that ends up being too much work, it could be added to an "Advanced waypoint display" ticket.

#1446 should add some visual feedback to the given target and was a partial duplicate of this ticket.

I have a heavy wip for the third (and last) part of this ticket. It could still take some time until it is ready. http://ompldr.org/vZnJ4eA

This patch should work for most cases for single units.
Big TODOs: Formations, cleanup/refactoring of CCmpWayPointRenderer (shares lots of code with CCmpRallyPointRenderer).
