Numpad Unit Commands

Numpad Unit Commands Numpad Unit Commands

Allows you to use the keypad to select/move units and perform area attacks. Designed as an alternative to messing around with the mouse when moving and selecting units.

Can be used with saved games.

future updates

• I will add a way to use the keypad to perform other unit commands so that the mouse can be used less often.

compatibility

• Works with any ruleset.
• Add your own UI files. It doesn't replace anything, so it's compatible with any other UI mod that doesn't try to use the same keys.

I can't move units even with num lock on

control

• "5" center view of selected unit. Double-clicking "5" will skip the unit's turn (or enter ranged attack selection, if available).
• 1,4,7,3,6 and 9 will move one unit at a time in 6 possible directions.
• "8" and "2" will select the next/previous ready unit respectively (unless range attack is selected).
• If no unit is selected, pressing the keypad will select the next available ready unit.
• The Mod will ignore when a key is held down for more than 2 seconds and it must be pressed and released quickly to register the action.
• Numpad key press will not queue any actions for the next turn.

Melee/ranged attack

• To melee attack a unit (or melee an adjacent one), a single press will show only the unit panel combat simulation.
• If ranged attack is available, double clicking "5" will enter ranged attack selection mode, otherwise the selected unit's turn will be skipped.

Once in remote attack mode:

• Numpad up, down and east, west keys will scroll selectable targets.
• To perform a ranged attack, double-click "5" again.
• Press "Exit" or the diagonal (1,7,9,3) keypad to exit remote selection mode.
