Show Field Command To Show Current CV Location
« on: July 11, 2016, 08:37:45 AM »
  I wish for the .sf command to show the current location of a friendly CV.  As it is now, she show field command will show the spawn point of the CV, but not the current location. 

  When someone calls for help defending a base, the show field command shows me where it is, and I can get a look at the area around it.  For a CV, I have to go looking for it to get a good assessment.  For obvious reasons, this would have to work only for friendly CV's.

Maybe there is a way already.

As a side note, I have started adding the sector location in my text post and really posting the sector is more important when needing help on like a base attack than the base number.

.sf is an awesome tool.  The other two I use a lot are .goto <player> and .move <fieldnumber>.  When I see squaddies on I don't even need to ask where they're working, I can just go to the field they took off from and up there.

But I agree it would be great if .sf went to the CV's location instead of where it starts from.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

Here is a good note for new players...

Teach your new squaddies these commands religiously...also teaching the .dt (downtimes commands) to your new players is a great idea  :aok

Oh I'll give a +1 on the wish...

Down Times are now a drop down for each field in AH3.
