Maximazing the limit of general powers/superweapons/abilites shortcuts on the GUI for everything

Open ghost opened this issue 4 months ago • 3 comments

Basically, if you're a GLA, it will show you the Scud Storm ability in the GUI shortcuts, even if you have access to Nukes, Particle Cannons, Spy Satelite, Intelligence and basically everything else, they won't show up, forcing you to click on the building/unit to use its abilities.

It would be nice (and funny) to have everything possible on the screen, if it starts to occupy too much of the screen, it can be dynamically scaled down.

That way, it will be easier to launch any superweapon as any army if you have too many of a superweapon that is not the one your actual faction has.

There's a hardcoded issue that need to be fixed for it to be possible (unless there's another way), which is the Command Set limit of 18 buttons. If you go past that, the game will crash.

If we had the specialpower sidebar act like in Tiberium Wars, it would be really neat. Never found it intrusive to have multiple rows of buttons

Maybe like this:

@OccultGuy I can already image the huge pyramid going to be shown on screen. xD
