"Find unit" center camera issue

Besides the good advice already given, a couple things that have helped me to improve are in the options. You want very far camera zoom and you want to make sure "find unit" does *not* center camera on them, just double tap the button to do that.


Hi, for me, double tapping to center the camera only works with anything that I've assigned to the control groups from 1-9.
For example, neither "find town center" on "w" or "find explorer on "mouse 4" works.

So far not getting closer to solve this.
Have I missed something here?

Often when i change something in the Game options or Hotkeys my camera centering bugs out until i restart the game, so try that. Also make sure the Slider "treshold used to snap on unit" is NOT on 100% left.

Thank you for both tips. Tried them, but it didn't work.
I also thought of any hotkeys somehow conflicting, even though I have "allow conflicts" on' no luck there yet.

Yeah, could just click on the minimap, when I want to see my town center. Thankfully I do see the army, when double tapping, since I assign them to control groups.

@admiraljsmith Change this option : "Threshold used on snap to unit" in UI Options. Try extreme values first. If it's the same problem as I had, I think it will fix yours &' create a new one. Basically you won't be able to switch your japanese and indian explorers from one to another.

In this case, set it in the middle. It seems to be the best compromise for me.

Thanks Djigit! It worked! On the extreme values my tc hotkey worked 100% of the time but for the explorer maybe less than 50%. I mostly play french though. :) As you said, a middle value seems better.

Double tap doesn't work for normal hotkeys but only for ctrl groups. It works on single tap if you check that box in the options (dunno why you would have that tho).

There is a "snap to selected unit" hotkey anyway.

Btw I find more annoying the fact that shift+ctrl group is often took as ctrl group double tap, so the camera snaps to that.

Yes it is very useful for many things, like going back to a selected point.

Hmm,@garja ,I thought this problem was already solved and cleared by [u style="font-weight:bold'"]Djigit[/u]. Set the setting in the middle or change it a little bit to your liking.

I tried to map it to the middle mouse button but sometimes it stops working for no reason.

Funnily it's the only hotkey which is mapped to middle mouse. Maybe restarting the game will help with that.
