Sentry Gun UI upgrade

Post by KingKire » 06 Sep 2016, 02:50

Summary:
Upgrade for the sentry guns UI textbox to be a little bit more interesting.
This is just a mock up, but something along this direction:
Sentry Gun UI.png

Benefits:
Adds some nice polish.


Details:
Now, it would be nice if instead of Hyperlink text selection, UI buttons can be used to switch to toggle sentry guns modes

But seriously, does uh, anyone know the way out?!

Last bit of mana to be used resing this thread.

Honestly it would be really nice if the pop up window was made into this and as Josh already has the potential sprites for this (See above) then it could in-theory be a quick-ish change/implementation.

+1 from me.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

I have yet to tackle engineer, as I don't want to make terrible FoB building choices. Could someone post the current sentry UI here for reference?

I imagine it's just the generic white screen with links for options.

+1 please.

Yeah, it's just a generic white screen, or maybe it has NanoUI now. Not sure.
