Micro

I got some help about setting up my script here:

http://www.coh2.org/topic/26059/we-need-custom-hotkey/page/1#post_id237133


I hope this helps you.

Often control groups negate the need for this, but instead of trying to focus on the entire late game map where it all unravels, split it into smaller areas of operation. You can do this by consciously assigning mental categories to groups of units (without necessarily assigning control groups) and what their situation is. It takes more effort than assigning group 1 and group 2 for two sides of a flank, but you don't need to then merge them back into group 1 or change the control groups around as much. Because of this, I control-group all forces of similar type (i.e. infantry (1), special infantry (2), tanks (6), light tanks (7), etc) instead of assigning them control groups based on location (which changes). It is a lot quicker and more flexible to drop a category when it is no longer evident than it is to change numbers you've programmed into the game.

yep, I usually do like 89456132 says....I always put my starting engineer in group 3, and rifles/cons/volks/green goes to group 1.

Then my atgus goes to group 2 until I have armor. Once my armor hits the fields group 2 is assigned to armor and atguns change to group 4.

group 5 is for mortar, stuka, katty....so artillery.

This way, it doesn´t matter wich faction I´m playing, and then, things become easier, I need to repair a tank? press 3 and right click on the tank, I don´t even need to see my engineer in the screen to give it that order....I want to barrage an enemy atgun, ok, press 5 and order it...you don´t need to move the screen to where the mortar is...so I can keep microing or taking care of my other units...

really helpfull.

Vonivan can you post your script for minimap and which side button do you have it under? I thought this would be easy, but i don't understand this script shizzz..

Or anyone else?

I use 5 Mode Oscar Editor, I'm not sure if it just works with an X7 mouse (quite cheap, about £10 in CZ; best I've ever used) but it allows you to easily bind any button on the mouse to any keyboard key. It's easy with most of these programs: it will give you an option (ie, Button 5) and a second option (a keyboard key) and voila.

Button 5 (the closest to your thumb) is ideal for the Tac map, I also have a trigger button next to the left mouse that retreats units.

Download autohotkey

Download CELO

http://www.coh2.org/topic/18454/celo--company-of-elo

Download X mouse button control if you have buttons on the side of your mouse
http://download.cnet.com/X-Mouse-Button-Control/3000-20432_4-75362562.html

Use CELO hotkey creator to change the buttons and abilities to whatever you want,if youre not good at "coding"
Once you finish,you can view the script,copy it,compile it with autohotkey

You can also do this by manually typing it into an ahk file...but thats complicated


button youre changing:button you want


For example

I want the X key (throw grenade) to be number 2

so X:2





and have this; so your chat isnt messed up from changing the keys around

I dont see much that scripts can do in coh2. Only attack move capping queue that i did so far.
Here is my SC script for comparission it does like 40% of work for you.

I didn't see anything about Shift to queue orders

Remember that you can instantly snap to a unit by double-tapping its control group key. Similarly, if you don't know where your sniper is when he starts yelling about how he's about to die, just tap the hotkey and tap the retreat key. He'll run home and you never have to move your camera or hunt for his unit shield on the top-right of your screen. Same works for giving attack-move orders through the minimap (good for AT guns)

Whenever I want to check if I have idle squads in my base, I double-tap F1. That immediately moves the camera to the HQ. It's probably better to do this via the tactical map.

Clicking on the minimap is way faster than moving the camera around by the screen edges. Pressing the tac map key and then double-clicking on an area also works, probably better if you can remember to do it.

Re tac map: I try to remember to open the tac map at the start of the match because it usually takes it about 1 second to open the first time, but is instant after that.

Also, do everything Lemon said.

Thanks for your tips! Greatly appreciated.
