Better engineer use Command

So I have an idea, why not make it possible to give command order to the engineer in your squad to build stuff for you? without you having to select the engineer in your squad. this would mean you can spend less time building stuff, and command your AI-controlled squad Engineers to do it for you.

It was suggested ages ago by Moses himself. And yet here we are.

I had no idea this was already mentioned, maybe devs forgot, hopefully, this makes the idea relevant again

If you are playing an engineer you can make a 2nd engineer in the squad build something - but it’s not quite what you would like, which would be more useful

You can place the blueprint and hit X on pc and your other engineers will come and build for you.

Yeah, but you need keep hammer in your hand, otherwise bots will stop building.

I think there may be some conflicts. For example, if your soldiers are too far away from you, they will automatically cancel their orders and follow you.
If you let your engineer stay in place to build a spawn point, and then he gets too far away from you, should your engineer continue building or follow you?

Didn’t actually realise that was the case! I always stay to speed up the build - or start building sandbags at the same time.

But yeah, I’d love more squad instructions and a longer range on the distance you can be.
