Initial position of grouped units

[ClayPigeon]

I would like to place four soldiers inside a building. No problem there, I just move them around in the editor until they are all where I want them to be; inside the house. Then I group them and all of a sudden they are positioned around there leader. Is there a way to group units without them changing their positions?

If the answer is already provided in another topic and I am just taking up valuble space and reading time, please remove this topic and accept my deepest apologies.

A unit automatically starts in formation with his group leader, unless you select "none" in his Special field.    However, even then, he usually move into position as soon as the mission starts.

There are various ways of making him stay where he is, and which commands are most appropriate depend on exactly what you want.     Look up the following commands  in the online comref, which has helpful Comments

doStop
disableAI
setUnitPos

Have a look in the Ed Depot for scripts too, I have a feeling there might be something helpful there.

In buildings there are numbered positions:  it is possible to put a unit in a position though I can't remember exactly how.   If there is only one unit in the group you can give him a waypoint exactly on the house and get new options in the waypoint.
