Show visual indication of members of a ProtoMech point #4511

Open SuperStucco opened 1 year ago

SuperStucco commented 1 year ago

When there are multiple ProtoMech points in close proximity it gets hard to track which ones are members of which point, which is important for planning movement. It would be helpful if there was some graphic indication to show which ones are included in each point. Not entirely certain what the best look for this would be; I'm leaning towards what is done with connected units in a C3 network, simple thin lines between them. But I'm open to other concepts.

How about some kind of character placed at the beginning of each unit's name to denote the same ProtoMech point? So it would look like this on the game board:

A:Minotaur A:Satyr A:Centaur

B:Minotaur B:Satyr B:Centaur

There is this under View menu => Client Settings => Main tab:

ProtoMech Unit Codes

But I've never seen where it gets used/shows up in game.
