Tracking of Creatures
« on: June 14, 2010, 09:25:18 pm »

Sorry if this has already been suggested, but I couldn't find it after searching, so....

I've often found it to be a real hassle to follow dwarfs (or any other creature for that matter) as they are running around the map, especially if there are lots of z-level changes going on (running across a hilly area for example) so I was wondering if it might be possible to add a feature to 'track' a particular creature. 

Setting the game to track a creature would then keep the screen centered on said creature no matter where it moves in the world (especially up/down z-levels).

I made this suggestion on reddit and was told that Dwarf Therapist has support for this (tracking dwarves at least) but I'll be damned if I can figure out how its done.

Any thoughts?
