Stop command
« on: 06 Apr 2003, 01:29:49 »
Are there any stop commands that will cause a unit to halt, but can be used again to make a unit move again?  I've tried using the dostop, commandstop, and stop commands, but I can't find a way to get the units moving again.   Using unit stop false doesn't seem to do anything.  Any help would be appreciated.

Well, to get a unit moving again after using dostop, you can use:

unit dofollow (leader unit)

Also, using:

unit stop true

and

unit stop false

Used to work (I think it would have been about v1.40 when I last tried it... the comref says it's obselete, but ignore that ;))

Dang, thanks for fast reply.  I tried using the domove command, but it doesn't do anything.  I tried using the      unit stop false     before, but it didn't work (it's sort of odd how it has a true and false thing, but only true works).  I tried using the   unit dofollow leader unit   but it wouldn't work because I have the whole group stopped.  The scenario I have is as follows: I have a group of soldiers sitting around a fire.  I just want to have it so that they stay where I put them and not move around, causing them to get up.  I could probably just have the soldiers in their own one man groups and have them join up with their leader when they need to, but that would require quite a few groups, leaving me with less groups to place on my map.  Any more help would be greatly appreciated.  BTW, I have v1.90.


cough cough It seems as though I solved my problem.  It just so happens that the unit stop false works just fine and my cough cough group of triggers was at fault.  Oh well.

I had the nearly the same question 2 days ago, with the domove command. Macguba told me to do: unit domove getpos something. the something can be a gl, a marker, a dead body, anything.
