A simple yet effective feature, minimap waypointing...

Yes, in warcraft3 you are able to give waypoints in the minimap...

Instead of having to scroll the screen all the way to where you want your marines to go, and click there, you could simply not move the screen at all...

You could just select the marines, and click on an area in the minimap and it would autotmatically give them the waypoint there....

I dont know how many times i have to keep scrolling around entire maps to give waypoints, and it makes it hard to command sometimes, especially when you need to give multiple waypoints to multiple people in a short amounto of time.


Edit: I thought of taking this idea a bit further, why stop at minimap waypoints?

Wouldnt it be great if the commander could also hand out medpacks and ammo through the minimap? Instead of having to scroll all the way through? although this might be taking it a bit too far....


thanks.

I'd really like to see this implemented, but I suspect there are code issues, and that's why it hasn't been done yet.

The accuracy of the minimap has been implemented well enough so that any given area on the minimap corresponds with the actual map, so i guessed it would be relatively simple to reprogram a minimap so that a left click means "go to that spot" (as it currently does, but simply add a "right click" function that allows for waypointing and dropping medpacks...

Maybe this simply wasnt attempted before? Anyways, i am glad this feature will be implemented in future versions =)
