ADVANCED GAME CONTROLS
Once you have a good grasp of the basic controls for your units, it’s time to move on to
some of the more advanced controls that are offered in DUNE™ 2000. If you are going to
pit your skills against other players, learning how to use these controls is a must.
TEAMS [CTRL + #, #,ALT + #]
As you’ve learned, you can select more than one unit at a time by left-clicking on an empty
space and dragging a box to select all of the units that you want to move at once.What if
you want to select that particular team again in the middle of battle? Normally you’d have
to band-box them all over again.This may mean scrolling the screen as well, since most of
the time you are trying to do more than one thing at a time.
You can Save all of the selected units into a team. To do this, first select all the units that
you want in your team, then hold down the CTRL key, and hit any one of the number keys
on your keyboard (0-9).This will make all the selected units part of that team.To instantly
select that team, just hit the number key corresponding with that team, and they will all be
selected.
Note:This will not re-center your view on that team, it will just select them so you can give
them orders. If you want to see that group, hold down the ALT key and hit the number
you’ve assigned for that team.This will center the view on that team.
You can add members to an already existing team easily. First, select that team by hitting the
appropriate number key.Then, hold down the SHIFT key and individually click on the units
that you want to add to that team (sorry, you can’t band-box with this method). Once
you’ve got them all highlighted, resave the team again by holding down CTRL and hitting the
number of the team.That’s it!
BOOKMARKS [CTRL + F9 - F12, F9 - F12]
You can save 4 positions of the screen and return to them at any time.To save a position,
hold down the CTRL key, and hit one of the function keys F9-F12.You can then just hit the
F9-F12 keys to jump to that location.
