Missing "Split Stack Button" ???

Unread postby PlanesWalker » 24 Oct 2007, 14:20

Ok, I bought Tribes and must say it adds much more polish to the game but where is the split stack button???

I hate the fact that i have to hold down shift to split my troops. Would it be that hard for them to put a button on the screen that splits them in town or on the game map?

Mod community can you help with this?

I don't see your problem, even if there was a split stack button I'd prolly still use shift..

What, it wasn't in the budget?! It's easily fixable stuff like this that makes it seem Nival doesn't care...

ok, clear me up. I'm fine with holding down shift to split troops...only inconvenient when I'm giving a bottle to the baby. But how else do you copy and paste other than right clicking the mouse?

No, haloswift. Heroes 3 has no splitt button. You have to press shift. Which is, what I suppose was yyour point in the first place. :)

I use my chin (to hold the bottle, not to hold the shift key!).

My wish would be that the sliders would not go all the way to zero when splitting units, and stop at one instead. If I change my mind about the split, I can just click Cancel.

It certainly does have a split button. And so does Heroes 4. :|

You're confusing me. This thread has no mention of Split buttons ON the mouse, nor of Wait buttons.

This is a rare occasion where I think JJ is confused.

People are talking about a button to click on the screen that allows you to split troops. No keyboard necessary, it's all mouse driven (but not actaully a button on the mouse, not sure where that idea came from). Like the current on-screen wait button.

And I'll bet AS is really good at typing with his chin

I thought we already had a mod that added a wait button and a split button.

Yes, thats exactly it. Like in the Heroes III graphic.

How hard would that be to add to Heroes 5?
