Ranging Lock

[hobobob38]

There should be something like the sit lock that works while you're standing to help with ranging. Right now you have to hold alt down if you dont want to move when you accidentally click on the ground next to whatever you're shooting at.

 

(i did a search but didnt find anything like this)

I would go for this

 

(P.S. For me the VoTD lamppost top gives me this ability)

Good idea

 

I'm tired of accidentally walking while ranging

[Sir_Odie]

An option similar to 'sit lock' would be great...

Keep Alt button pressed while ranging.

 

Alternatively, manipulate your camera in such a way that incidental misclick hits unwalkable tile (air, water, rock, etc.).

[hobobob38]

but wouldnt that involve moving the camera where you couldnt see what you're shooting as easily?

 

and i believe i said something about "other than alt" twice, once in the title and once in the actual post

It's not that hard to keep ALT pressed down while ranging, wasting time and effort to implement this is a bad idea imo

[hobobob38]

i didnt say it was hard to keep it held down, i said it was a huge pain in the ass....after an hour of holding alt down my hand was hurting

I posted a patch which implements Ranging-Lock in the 'Programming' section of the forum...

And, maybe (this might be asking too much, cuz may be hard to implement) a red cross hair on the enemy show you know exactly what your shooting
