5.1.24: Force Window - rollup data

[MarkShot]

The above data is only rolled up for on-map units. As you can now display off-map units, I would like to have the roll up data too.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

What are you referring to when you say "roll up data". This is not a term I use. A picture's worth a thousand words here.

 

[MarkShot]

I know, but I don't have time to grab one now. So ...

For a force, there is a left column and a right column.

The left is the current unit's data. The right is the force's rollup data.

The right is only populated for on map forces. Not forces from the OOB which are still off map.

Clear?

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

I see but then you would either need another column or better a control that could switch depending on the force structure type - eg organic, player, current mission etc.

 

[MarkShot]

Oh, I see your point. Reinforcements are always organic. Thus, you could end up with two different contexts. I hadn't considered that.

Quick hide me in the Beta Forums, over the last 24 hours it has become increasingly obvious that I am getting too old. No wonder, Ray and Eddie left in their prime!

That may be a bit of a stretch for Ray, don't you think?
