LethalBotsWheel

A radial command wheel for your LethalBots. Hold a key, aim at a slice, let go. You can order your bots around without stopping to look at them or type anything.

Usage

• Hold V (default) to open the wheel. Let go on a slice to run that command. If you would rather press once to open and press again to fire, switch Activation to Toggle in the config.
• Move the mouse to pick a command.
• Scroll to choose who it applies to: All Bots, Nearest, or one bot by name. It remembers your last pick.
• Right click cycles through the pages.
• Number keys 1 to 8 fire a slice directly, like an emote wheel.
• While the wheel is open your game inputs are paused, so scrolling and key presses do not leak into the game.

Commands

Page 1: Follow, Lead Way, Wait Here, Regroup, To Ship, Grab Loadout, Man Ship, Go To Bot (warps you to a bot)

Page 2: Transfer, Drop Item, Change Suit, Monitor Me, Teleport Me, Stop Monitor, Take Off, Report

Page 3: Collect Delivery

Commands that only make sense for a single bot (Man Ship, Go To Bot, Take Off, Report) will not offer the All Bots target. If you are dead the wheel hides targets you cannot use, and if you are spectating one of your own bots it points the target at that bot by default.

Config

• OpenKey: the key or mouse button that opens the wheel. Default V. Also takes Mouse5, Mouse4, Mouse3, or any key name.
• Activation: Hold or Toggle.
• WheelSize / Deadzone / CursorSize: size and feel.
• CenterTextScale: size of the text in the middle of the wheel.
• FreezeViewWhileOpen: keeps the camera still while you aim. Recommended.

Multiplayer

Everyone who has the mod gets their own wheel, and it only commands the bots you own. It does not need to be host only.

Changelog

1.29.22

• Now bundles the walkie-proximity companion so the wheel stands on its own: a bot within command range of you no longer raises its walkie to talk up close, so you hear its normal voice instead of a radio transmission right in your face. Out of range it still keys the radio. It has its own config to turn off or tune. If you also run LethalBotsCommands, which bundles the same companion, there is no conflict - the game just loads a single copy.

1.29.21

• Commanding a far-away bot to Follow from the wheel now carries its voice over the radio, the same as the chat command does, when you and the bot both hold a walkie-talkie. Needs LethalBotsCommands.
• Smarter stuck recovery for bots, shared with LethalBotsCommands: if both mods are installed they coordinate so only one of them handles it.

1.29.20

• When a command greys out because a bot is too far, the tip now tells you exactly what's missing: whether to turn your walkie on, whether the bot has no walkie, or both, instead of a vague "hold a walkie" message.

1.29.19

• Bigger default wheel (WheelSize 190 -> 240).
• The center hub now shows your controls at a glance: which bind cycles the target (Scroll and/or your NextTargetBind) and which flips the page (NextPageBind).

1.29.18

• Rewrote the Config section in the description so it documents every setting, grouped by what it does (opening and feel, targets and pages, range and walkie-talkies, behavior, advanced).

1.29.17

• New LongRangeNeedsWalkie config (off by default). When on, every command (not just Follow and Lead Way) greys out on a bot past your follow/lead range unless you and that bot both hold a walkie-talkie, so distant bots can only be ordered over the radio. Go To Bot stays exempt.

1.29.16

• Follow and Lead Way now stay usable on a far-away bot when you are holding an active walkie-talkie and that bot is carrying one. New WalkieRange config, on by default.
• Added a ScrollCyclesTarget config so you can turn off scroll-wheel target cycling and use the NextTargetBind / PrevTargetBind keys instead.

1.29.15

• Activating a greyed-out slice now shows a tip explaining why: you are dead, the command can't target All Bots, the bot is too far, or you have no bots.

1.29.14

• New store icon.

1.29.13

• Center hub redesign: a cleaner three-level layout, and the command title turns green when a command is selected.
• Fixed the selector text clipping out of the hub on long target names.
• Take Off, Man Ship, Go To Bot and Report grey out when the target is All Bots.
• Collect Delivery: bots return to their previous task instead of freezing when the dropship leaves mid-collect.
• While dead and spectating one of your bots, the target points at that bot.
• Renamed Gear Up to Grab Loadout.

1.21.1

• Earlier public release.
