Select all town center hotkey

[Dsy]

Hi guys, could you give us an option to "select all town center" hotkey in fp or somewhere else?

[Mr_Bramboy]

What I do is change my '9' control group to the letter T (and remove the town center hotkey). At the start of each game I add my town center to control group 9 so when I press T I'll get to my town center without your screen being teleported back. This is very useful in big fights.

It also works with multiple tcs' simply add the town center(s) to control group 9 and press T. You'll be able to train vills from all of them instantly.

^^^Refer above.

I actually use ctrl group 1 for TC. Pretty handy when you're engaged in a fight of high micro.

Ty Mr_Beamboy, its a great idea!

You can select tc and then ctrl shift a to select all tc or just reconfigure it to say a and then select t and a you have selected all tc congrats gg re?

Adding new hotkeys doesn't require a fanpatch. If you know how to edit the keymap files, you can easily code a hotkey to select all TCs:


AllTC/name>
Select all TCs
alt-
game
uiFindAllOfType("TownCenter")

Could you explain more? I mean where can i find the keymap files, and how could i do it for E button? And where i need to copy these commands in the file texts?

I just spent some time reading the keymap files until I figured some things out. However, the you might find it easier to just install the hotkey mod found at Heaven Games.

i use ctrl group 1 for RI, isnt that what everyone does?

The best way I have found is alt f4, it selects all the TCs and pressing tab cycles through them.

I do this. I have my TC as caps lock, then if i have multiple TCs later on i add them to control 5.

If you deselect "center hotkeys" (or something similar) then it won''t snap your screen back to the TC aswell.

And I always use T as standard hotkey, and in shorter games where I have like 2 TCs, then I just switch through the TCs, and in the late games, I put it in group 5 (which i put to F1, so its easier to reach)

I imagine that leads to some funny situations when chatting ingame.

You can remap the Caps Lock key in Windows so that it doesnt appear that you are "shouting" when you hotkey it in the game. Because the game makes so much use of Shift and Ctrl, its nice to be able to use the adjacent Caps Lock key too.
