ENO Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 I'm finding it REALLY annoying to have "player can drive" as a default setting. Granted, when you're slapping in dozens of the same unit or groups all the time it's not a big deal because you can clone smaller groups that you deselect this feature. If you put a group down... it would be nice if you select that lead vehicle as drivable or not, excellent or average, etc... if the LEAD vehicle is excellent then in general wouldn't all of those troops be excellent? If the LEAD vehicle is not driveable, is it not safe to assume that the rest of the units associated with that group would not be driveable? While building missions- unless you're really, really organized the current arrangement essentially forces maximum intervention and though I'm certain there are some secrets in MIST and mission file editing that can help overcome this- it really shouldn't be that way by default. IMO of course. Thoughts? "ENO" Type in anger and you will make the greatest post you will ever regret. "Sweetest's" Military Aviation Art
Grimes Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Place first unit, change settings as you desire, then add remaining units. Each unit that is added will inherit the settings of the last unit in the group. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

No thanks. I don't think those are good assumptions. However, an "apply to group" option would be welcome so that one doesn't need to go through each individual unit to make a change.

Each unit that is added will inherit the settings of the last unit in the group. Thinking more in terms of taking Pre-CA missions and converting them to accommodate or not accommodate certain ground positions- that's all... Wish it were a bit easier. Anyway, I'll just need to keep reminding myself on the go forward to adjust those settings before I build a bunch of groups and realize I don't want to give a ground commander access...

ENO Posted April 18, 2013 Author Posted April 18, 2013 I'm finding I'm having this issue with templates- I grabbed Stuka's templates and they're fantastic but again all slots are set with "player can drive." I guess you can go through each template, turn that off, then save the template again- Or is there another way to go into the template file and change that setting in .lua?
