Visualize waypoints set by the player

[Mailaender]

You can currently use Shift + Click to set waypoints for your units. There should be a flag (suggesting the one from the rally point) to visualize this.

Do we want to eventually support waypoints when setting rallypoints, too?

That might be a good idea to implement. I'm all for it. (Both Mail and Chris)

+1 to both proposals.

Here is an image of waypoints and the rallypoint for the "War Factory".

I also think the mouse cursor should be changed from a blue attack cursor to a flag when you are about to place a rallypoint for a building even if you hold "shift" or "z" to create waypoints to the rallypoint.

[Snurre86]

If a sound is added to the activation of waypoints (when you press/let go of "shift" or "z") and a diffrent sound when a waypoint is placed (shift+mouse button or z+mouse button) it is going to be easyer for the brain.

+1 for all these ideas.

I didn't think way-points were implemented in the game! This will ease microing significantly...

I assume the waypoint logic could be extended to make nicer visual scripting waypoints in the ingame map editor? (If done like RA2 with the solid line between points)
