soldiers always go to commander

[Specnaz]

How to order to a soldier not to come to his commander, but stand where you place him?
ect.: 2 soldiers in 2 different towers in same group, one of them will come down of the tower and go near tower of his superior commander.how to prevent this?
When in a group all soldiers are comming closer to commander nomather how far you put them from commander. since only 64 groups per map are supported I must spare groups and place more single soldiers into a group.
thx!

In the special box of the soldiers propeties, select "None" as apposed to "In Formation".  You may also have to select this from the leaders propeties as well.

You could also try;

CommandStop [ UnitName1 , UnitName2 ]

[Specnaz]

Yes, I always put in special :none but that helps me only to put soldier to wanted position but nomather how far I put him, he always return to commander

Try putting
This DisableAI "MOVE"
in both units init field, that along with Special: NONE
And they will stay exactly where they are.

Alternatively;

UnitName Stop True

Will do what the above post says, with the ability to make them move later if you so wish.  Though Im not sure why the CommandStop hasnt worked.

stop true wil make da soldiers dont shot also - nd u can use a

dostop nameofsoldier

 ;D

BTW i think dat da command stop dont work is it get single units not array  ;D actualy it writen in da official command referance so im sure so it wil b

commandstop nameofsoldier

LCD OUT

[icarus_uk]

Its in as a single unit.  But also in with multiple units in the same argument with an array.

Putting "None" rather than "In Formation" in the special field only means that the unit will start off where you place him rather than in formation.     In general as soon as the mission starts he will move into formation unless you use dostop or something as outlined by my learned friends.

Another one I learnt the hard way.

  To make a trooper stand still from start of mission, do this


Set his "special" field to NONE (as stated above) and then put this in his INIT field :

DoStop This  

  That'll make him ease up & stay where ya put him!  :-X


Using the "DoStop" and not any other spells makes him capable of
fighting back if attacked  :thumbsup:
