BugPowderDust Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Hi all Just pre-ordered the game, can't wait for it to go full release! Was a longtime X-COM and Laser Squad Nemesis player. However, I have a very basic and nooby question. Managed to shoot down a UFO, and when I sent my guys there....I couldn't disembark them! I left click on the ground, green squares appear..and they don't move. In XCOM, they'd have moved at that point, but I assume I need to press a 'move' key or button to complete the move? I think I am missing something very obvious indeed Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Double-click. Have to click a square twice to move a unit, helps to avoid mis-clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugPowderDust Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 oh god...I tried everything but...thanks very much, how embarassing! Move along, nothing to see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 .... helps to avoid mis-clicks. i see, now it is foolproof! but hey, mis-clicks was part of the fun in the old days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugPowderDust Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 Haha yeah, as you misclick and your guy goes wandering off into a hostile area with 0 points left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 ... and the best part was, alien gets opportunity fire and MISSED! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Oh yeah, that was always great. I still mis-click sometimes though, but now I can only blame myself rather that getting annoyed at the game . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectoid Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 last time in TFTD, anything larger than an alien supply sub in the battlescape will causes lag (even runs on 486 with 4mb of ram), guess to many bubble sprites to take up the cpu cycle. and so, the lag created mis-click...

GrumpySage Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Also, you cannot change the movement in the middle of a move. You need to cancel the movement first (spacebar I believe?) and then issue a new order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathra Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Oh and the ESC key cancels shooting mode, if you go into it manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
