kigurai Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 In current build (V18 hotfix 1) a building has the roof "removed" when a soldier enters it. This is nice. But, I think the roof should disappear also when the mouse hovers over it. Currently, it is very annoying to try to go back into a building you have been in before since you have to step inside it first. The hangars on the desert/military base maps are a good example.

Sathra Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You can turn off the roof with the roof toggle. But yes, this would be a nice feature, especially for targetting enemies behind buildings (which is fiddly even with the roofs off due to other problems).

kigurai Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Roof toggle? I must have totally missed that there was such a thing. And yes, there are other issues with soldiers behind objects. Like the train cars which totally hide your soliders. Not that much of a problem since pressing their icon highlights them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah, its the icon next to the end turn button. Looks like a roof. All full height props have the same problem. The double-height crates, mesas, trees, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Also when Aliens are behind walls. It's nigh impossible to get them in your sights, especially when they're crouching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitum Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Made a bug report to the same effect. The remove roof function should make all walls/props transparent (or invisible should the artists be busy) for easy selection of units.

Commissar Pancakes Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Also when Aliens are behind walls. It's nigh impossible to get them in your sights, especially when they're crouching. Rocket launchers care not for walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erutan Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 @gizmo - grenades ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GizmoGomez Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah, but I don't use rockets (why, I have no idea. I loved HE rounds with the Heavy Cannon in the OG) and grenades are underpowered at the moment. Besides, why would I rocket a building when my guy can freaking see the alien right there? I just can't select the alien to attack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
