onmapsingleclick confusion

[macguba]

I'm commanding a tank (well it seemed like a good idea at the time) and I want to be able to order a loon from some other group to go to a particular place on the map.   All well and good, I have figured that out.

I'm using a trigger, activation Radio Alpha:-

on activation:  onMapSingleClick {leader CSM doMove _pos}

The problem is that my driver thinks the single click is for him and he sets off for the same place too. ;D

How do you prevent this?  

Thanks.

Hi

Use a modifier key shift or alt so both it and the mouse button must be pressed. I seem to remeber Suma answering this question on the official forum some time back there is another method as well I think.

I have not noticed this in CE V1.22 and it makes a massive amount of use of this function. Have you got your tank driver selected at the time?

Kind Regards walker

Thanks, Walker.     No, the tank driver is not selected.   I saw Suma's post but he doesn't give the mechanics - how do you specify using alt-clickor ctrl-click?

Hi

Code: [Select]

onMapSingleClick command
Operand types:
    command: String
Compatibility:
    Version 1.85 required.
Type of returned value:
    Nothing
Description:
    Define action performed when user clicks in map. Command receives:
   
    _pos array position
    _units array selected units
    _shift,_alt bool key state
   
    If click is processed, command should return true.

Example:
    onMapSingleClick {"SoldierWB" createUnit [_pos,group player];true}

At the end where it says true _shift or _alt instead perhaps?

Kind Regards walker
