I've seen this ( -ac (advanced control) command used when sharing unit control with another player) used in a few maps I've played in the past.

It allows another player to spend your gold/wood on upgrades, buildings ,units, items and so forth.
I thought it would be really useful for teaching people, helping people through laggy end-games, or just for general help from player to player.

for version 5.2 or wateva

Hey,

this got me thinking.. so here are some of my thoughts..

I would see a lot of use for this when people are AFK.

It can be lethal if your waller has to go for 10min.

so.. maybe an -afk command.
base owner gets complete control of your units..
if lumber guy is afk, this would be useful:
-rl <color><amount>
-rg <color><amount>
-akf <color> if base owner needs to go.. (or -ac..)

-pool <color> <lumber/gold>
-pool <color> <lumber/gold> <reserve>
where <reserve> would be min amount that pooling player wont give away.

I know adding another periodic timer sounds bad, but once per 20 sec isn't that bad considering the abomonation that is lumber.

Lumber is fully automatic. No periodic timers, no nothing.
But someone brought up a flaw in the method of autoheal casting.
But we don't want to change lumber to be trigger heavy again so tree of vigor will just not affect lumber mills.

Yes. Please. Is my initial reaction for advanced unit control.

Thinking about it some more, i'm not really sure how often it'll be used. Useful for having to afk.


I would advise against being about to get other players to send you their wood/gold. If they need to afk for 5 mins, you spend 5 mins upgrading their mills. If they need 10+ mins, that's a LONG time to afk for. They might as well just leave and go next.

Good idea . I agree with Niwa
