Cityscape Waypoints

Waypoints may be given to airbourne or road vehicles.

• Switch to overhead view.
• Give a vehicle a target destination (this can include "Attack" command).
• Click the "Move to Destination" button (next to "Move to Building" button)
• Hold down the control button (Ctrl) and LMB click somewhere on the overhead cityscape to add a waypoint.
• The yellow line shows the path the vehicle will take after you release the button.
• Close the mini screen with the "X", if it appeared.

Battlescape Controls

• RMB on a non X_com unit to highlight them as a target.
• RMB will cancel a move order for your agents. It also will turn your agents to face a new direction.
• Using the Ctrl-LMB method (just like Cityscape use with vehicles) will select agents by clicking on their portrait or on the battlescape view yellow triangle icon. (also works when the triangle is an outline)
• Groups can be created by clicking the "Create Squad" button and selecting an empty group window. Maximum of six agents per window. Combining groups is also possible.
• Jumping with J-LMB allows an agent to jump off a ledge or over a railing (Hold down J, click LMB in the air next to the ledge or railing, release). This is different from the automatic jump performed when an agent comes across a one-cell hole. If an agent makes a two-cell-hole jump (this is only automatic) then the jumper may briefly fall unconscious.
• If a unit jumps off a ledge of more then one level difference, fatal wounds may result.
• To move an agent to an occupied battlescape cell, click Alt-LMB the destination and it will place a move-to marker.
• RMB on an enemy will highlight that unit so that your agents will concentrate fire onto it.
• S is shortcut for save. L is shortcut for load.

Hold Fire Forced Fire

If hold fire is used (the "X" in shot types), but something needs to be shot:

• click LMB on agents weapon in their hand, white outline, click LMB on anything or
• hold down shift, click LMB on anything.
  

Constant fire is possible if you hold down LMB.
There is an error for an agent's actions if the target was selected via RMB.
