LoS tool to include range

[JArraya]

I couldn't find a similar post to this but apologies if it has already been requested.

Can you please add a range (in meters) to the end of the LoS tool? In other words, when stretching the LoS tool the distance would show as a number on the end of it. Very helpful for placing units.

Thanks

Dave just checking to make sure you saw this?

Yeh I saw it. I actually checked to see if this would be something quick and easy to do for a novice UI programmer like myself. But it wasn't. I need to do some more homework on how to draw directly to the map with text. I don't want to use the D2DSurface routines because they slow the game down too much.

Thanks Dave, not pressuring, just didn't want it to get missed.

Dave,
Any more thought given to this?

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Sorry JArraya but I have not had time to look into this yet. It's not forgotten.

Just want to re-bump this up the chain. Still think this would be very very useful!

...fast forward +3yrs on, another bump!

Actually I just started playing CO2 after a bit of a break. I picked a scenario, loaded it up and one of the first things I did before I even started the battle was survey the battlefield using the LOS tool. I instinctively expected the range to appear as well.

This feature would be a great addition to the game! Do we have an update on it?

Turning on the 1Km grid while I use the LOS tool helps me enough that I don't think this feature would be anything more than fluff. But that's just me. I'm pretty sure it has dropped down the priority list as we try to get the combat models reworked.
