BAR Controls

A collection (I try to keep this updated) with neat controls for Beyond All Reason. The game comes highly recommended btw, it's great fun!

Some notes on notation: - rmb: right mouse button - lmb: left mouse button - space between keys: press in order (e.g. e alt means type e, then hold alt)

Building:

• shift: enqueue/build as line
• alt: build as square
• ctrl: build straight lines only
• alt+space: issue parallel command (when multiple constructors are selected)
• e alt+drag: reclaim same (own structures)
• shift+ctrl: Surround building at cursor with selected building
• space: insert at front of queue
• shift+space: insert "smart" (minimize walking time)
• n: go to next item in queue

Movement

• lmb: select, box-select on drag
• rmb: Move order. Units will shoot while moving
• rmb on unit: "guard" (protect/follow). Will hunt down units that damage the "protected" unit, repair, help build, etc.
• f: Attack-move: Move to here but pause walking as long as enemy is in attacking range
• t: Repeat move, can be used to repeat almost anythin, e.g. move commands, fight commands, build commands, repair commands, reclaim commands, etc.
• alt when set-target on enemy unit will set-target on all units of the type in view, a neat way to target all of one specific unit type in the enemy army

Chat

tilda or caret-up(^) key is used for pings/drawing on the map. I'll call it ping key in the following text:

• ping+lmb: drag to draw lines on map
• ping+rmb: Ping on map
• ping ping: Ping on map with text (also shows up in chat)
