[req] zoom to message location

(1/1)

damocles:
It's very annoying when out of the blue you get a "someone or other has been struck down" message and you have no idea where that someone or other is.  You can't zoom to deceased units, but how about if you go into the messages screen, select a message and press z to zoom to the location of the event.  It would make life so much easier.

Another:
For now you can go to stock screen, select 'corpses', expand the list, select the corpse you want and zoom to it.
Storing+retrieving on demand coordinates or some kind of a pointer to the resulting creature, building or item (corpse) in the event log would be really helpful.

damocles:
Ah, thanks for that - I didn't realise you could zoom to stock items like that.

mickel:
Seconded. Zoom to event would be extremely useful.
