Shift-click Secrete Resin.

Post by KEY » 19 Apr 2017, 00:02

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Let drones be able to shift+click on a tile near them to Secrete Resin like Spitters can spit, and runners can pounce. Except the tile has to be in the same range as normal to Secrete Resin.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
-Let's drones be able to drop walls and doors much quicker and when needed, instead of going over to Alien tab and moving your mouse to find the verb and click it, then go through the menu to find what it is you want to build on top of that. It would just enable some drones to be a bit more robust and resin quicker in the heat of the moment when under fire.

-Also just feels better for some people to click and build. But that's just preference

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
-Make Secrete Resin a Shift+Click ability for drones.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
-...Make Secrete Resin a Shift+Click ability for drones.

There is uh...a way to macro it...you can instantly place walls with it...i just haven't figured out how

Same with acid, you can instantly walk up to something and put acid on it with a macro.

If the tile is in the same range as normal, that means it's the one directly below you. Right?

Anyways, in this instance macros are your friend.
  1. Right click at the top of your screen
  2. Hover your mouse over "Client"
  3. Click on "Macros..."
  4. Click "New Macro..."
  5. Choose a key for activating the macro
  6. Type "Secrete-Resin-(75)" (no quotes) in the command line.
  7. Name it something on the ID line.
  8. Joyfully skip around in circles as a drone, mashing the key of your choice and the Enter key in quick succession.
TLDR: Go back and read it. I spent time writing that, ya know.
