RelicNews Forums - [HOW TO?] Group Assign units...

TheOneRonin Guest	[HOW TO?] Group Assign units... First off, my apologies if this has been answered in the past. How do I assign untis to the number keys for quick select? In other RTS games, the default is to select the unit, then press CTRL and the number (0-9) you wish to assign that unit to. Then, to quick select that unit, simply press the corresponding number key. I've tried this in DoW, but it doesn't work. Is there another way to do this, or is this functionality simply not present in this beta?

LokisMischief Guest	Er.. It works for me. I use that to get different aspects of my army to move together (Assault, Tactical, Scouts, and Dreads)

FoolsFolly Guest	Works ok for me as well - although you can't build 2 barracks and expect to put them together under one hotkey!

I'm trying to group them too but nothing matey

And is really difficult move them all together, click each unit to see if need reinforcments, etc etc etc.

Iron Tyrant Guest	Well, we have no idea what you might be doing wrong. "ctrl" + "1" makes a unit hotkeyed to the number one key. Works for me.

Firecrak Guest	CTRL+1 The usual next step is to double tap 1, so it brings up the group, but sometimes it does not. It will select it on the actual map, but won't zoom to it.

>XaartaX< Guest	This is a bug (which I've reported a few times). If you bind a squad then reinforce it then the doubletap doesn't work. The squad is still bound to the key (since u can see them highlighted on the minimap). All you have to do is rebind them again and you can doubletap. Reinforce it again? Rebind it again =) Like I said, a bug

Ah, that would explain what was happening to me last night. Just for some reason, so it seemed but I see now why, they would just lose their binding and the fight being so large I just thought they were wiped out. Once the fight settled down and I'm rounding up what I have left, I see them standing off to the side just reinforcing, not responding to my bind.
