Widget: Cloaks + AA + Com info

This widget contains a lot of useful functions.

1) It shows ally's and enemies' AA cover. It helps to save your planes and build new turrets in the right places.


2) It shows decloak range for selected cloaked units, so it is easier to surprise enemies by your new skuttle.
Also, it shows range between enemies' units by red, orange or green line.
Red line between two enemies' units means that it is impossible to go betwen them. Orange line means that you should be careful and the green one shows that it is easy to pass.


3) It shows important information about enemies' commanders. You need to just cast your look on com's head and you know it's damage, dps and attack range.

4) Now you do not need to type "SHINY" every time you nuke someone. This widget automatically says it to chat.

And lots of other useful things!

It is the most important part of the widget.

You know you can include LuaRules/Utilities/glVolumes.lua instead of copypasting its whole code? ;)

My suggestions would be to ditch all the automated chat (I rather hope it is a joke...) and to make it slightly lighter when you select a cloaked unit, it is quite hard too see with a cloaked unit selected at the moment. Other than that, good widget. That chat thing really needs to go though. Maybe you could make one without the chat thing and one with?

Lol. It is true. The main goal of this widget used to be saying "Perhaps, it ..." when I kill com.

It is opensource. Do with it whatever you want.

I added some options

You can change them as you want.

Thanks. I did it now. I only copypaste constants for my function.

the cloak ranges and aa ranges are already displayed, they're just not huge filled circles. But I think these kinds of visualizations are useful.

quote: How are they displayed? I have never seen anything that looks like a cloak range.

to view cloak ranges, press and hold "shift" and move mouse over a cloaked unit. it shows:
blue circle = decloak radius (=if enemy unit inside the unit decloaks)
red circle = weapon range
green circle = AA range (not 100% sure)

nice widget

yea, I did not saw aa fields. But you actuallly have to select aa. did not know that.

Are you sure? What is the effect of large units such as Detriment?
