Spring RTS Engine

well, it gets hectic our there and its easy to forget about 200 strategic bombers or a krog that you were building, here is a list of things i believe would be handy in a script, if i wasn't dropped at birth id try to code it.

1. 'when finished' alerts. when i set my kbot lab to make 100 peewees, id like an audible and visual alert to tell me when all 100 are made

2. eta of arrival of units. similar to the eta widget this would tell me how long each command is carried out.

3. a table, allowing 4-6 groups on it. basically on the table would be the eta of each command and a way to edit 'time wait' comands on it.


these are probably really hard. but having this kind of control will result in an unlimited amount of strategies.


ps, I HATE A WELL PLANNED STRAEGY FAILING CAUSE OF BAD TIMMING

Needs more skills.

For 2, it will fail if you stall.

the buildbar and idle builders widgets and iceui are capable to list your idle factories, as soon as you see it in the window, it means your queue has been processed

AF made in the past a group ai that was providing this, but iirc it's not compatible with newer spring builds

Seems to me the factories are always present in idle builders for some reason.

CA has the build eta widget in it, by trepan.

This widget detects factories with something like less than 10 units on the que. I believe you can change this by editing the code or the options.

i mean eta on movement.

I misread you a bit and thought you were asking for all types of eta.

Oh, well I typically have few units in queue but factories on repeat. That explains it.
