Title: making units stay where you put them
Post by: unkie on 20 Jan 2003, 06:48:44

hi all, i was wondering how to make units of a group stay in the precise position where you put them....e.g like when you place them individually, ungrouped. When they're in a group, they start out in the right position, but then automatically move back into formation, even if you start them with "none" under the special box. Preferably without using disableai "move"

"_x stop TRUE" forEach units your_grp

your_grp being the name of your group. You get group names by putting your_group_name=group this into one of the group members' init field.

This will make everyone in the group stop and stay still until you do a:

"_x stop FALSE" forEach units your_grp

at which point they'll regroup again. And that bs in the manual about the Stop command being obsolete...disregard.  ::) At least 'til they find an "enableAI" command...

G'luck!

Wolfrug out.
