dayglow 2 Posted June 4, 2007 I have a suggestion for BIS. I use a voice command program to help give commands in the game (www.gamecommander.com) and it worked very well in OFP. Everything in AmA is good as well except for the group commands. When I divide my squad into different groups (red, white, green, etc) in OFP they were part of the numbered command structure so I could program it into the software. Now with AmA I have to hold down the spacebar, scroll the group I want and then issue the command. This doesn't work, negating the advantage of being able of just speaking out my orders. I can program the software to hold the space bar, but I would love to see a number beside each group so that I can get the software to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandzibar 0 Posted June 4, 2007 tried shift+ F_key (corresponding to one of the troops from a group)? ie. if members 1 2 and 4 are group red.. pressing shift+f4 or shift+f2 etc will select all of group red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayglow 2 Posted June 4, 2007 new command, interesting. Should work, just complicates things because my group red could be different members depending on the mission and composition. Say 1 mission I have an AT member. I may link him with a rifle man as group red. They could be 4 and 8 for that mission. next mission I may only have 4 guys and I want 2 and 3 together as a group. With OFP under the grouping submenu you could directly select the group you wanted and red was always say 2 and green was always 3, no matter what members were part of the squad.

sandzibar 0 Posted June 4, 2007 yes i agree. its completely stumped me why they would remove the group selection from the command menu... but thats the only workaround I can suggest - other than using the completely pointless and redudant spacebar command tool - which was added why??

PaveQ 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Isn't it just fastest way to use keyboard, rather than talking commands? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayglow 2 Posted June 5, 2007 1...2....3....4....assign team red. team red.....weapons free team red....flank right. much more organic, easier to remember the spoken commands than tapping the number keys and you hands stay on your controls during combat. Once you've found a reliable voice command program that doesn't need training quite frankly it's very hard to go back to the old way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FWF.Osteo 0 Posted June 5, 2007 I'm with you Dayglow.  I use Shoot (a freeware cousin to Game Commander http://clans.gameclubcentral.com/shoot/ ) and would love it if the color groups could be assigned a number.  For me it is much quicker to give voice commands ("Red, engage at will") but it is a bear to have to hold the space bar, find the correct number  and then talk the order (space bar, scroll to Red, "engage at will"). As for the shift, it would just add another button to push.  As I'm new to ArmA, is there a way to suggest a change officially to BIS? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayglow 2 Posted June 10, 2007 just a bump to see if anyone from BIS has seen and could comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
