Hello, I'm playing Lemmings 2 on DOS. I have a bit of a doddle- Is there a way to assign a skill to a left facing walker/ lemming, or a way to consistently assign a digger to a basher (both scenarios in a crowd of lemmings)?

L2's mouse-hovering prefers existing workers over existing walkers. But the selection box of an existing worker is substantially enlarged to the
right, and I believe that this is independent of the existing worker's facing.
Therefore: Select digger, and click to the right of the basher. This should assign digger to the basher.
Bashers in particular have a visual/positional oddity: Their location (invisible, the game tracks it internally) lags behind their visible sprite. During his swing, the basher looks more forward than he really is. (To see this, assign exploder to a basher; the countdown will lag behind.) Assuming your basher faces left, it's another reason to click further right of where the basher appears to be.

Directional select a.k.a. directional force isn't in L2. Yeah, it would help.
