Cloaked Units Given Limited Implicit Commands #3157

Open Brian-Catcow-B opened 1 month ago

Brian-Catcow-B commented 1 month ago

Description

I suggest that units with cloak on are only allowed to have their implicit m2 command be a movement command. If reclaiming is desired, the command must explicitly be selected before issuing it.

Why?

When a unit is cloaked, particularly a commander, it is potentially disastrous to accidentally start reclaiming a wreckage on the battlefield, which uncloaks the unit.

What area of the game does this feature request pertain?

Gameplay

Other (optional)

It's possible for the Armada Sniper bot that it would be good to have attack as an allowed implicit command, even when cloaked, but I can't think of a situation where reclaiming with a cloaked unit needs to be an efficient input.

Already a behaviour for the spy bot, just needs to be extended to commanders.

There's a widget that does exactly this, works very well.
