Hello there fellow Hivers,

I was wondering whether it is possible to remove the 'Hold Position' button and replace it with something else, let's say an ability, can that be done?

You'll have to remove the unit's ability to move. By removing the unit ability 'Amov' you get rid of the command cards patrol, move, stop, hold position, attack move, etc. but sadly you won't be able to order the unit to move.

Okay, other suggestions where I can still continue move the unit...?

Maybe a way to turn off somehow only the "Hold Position" button?

Well its 4am, but I feel I haven't completely lost my mind yet...Can't you give it ward classification which blacks the command card, but just give the unit movement so "smart" orders still work?

Maybe I'm loopy from the time though.

Okay for the moment it seems as what pOke said is the only solution that can fit my intentions - but I only want to change one command button not to redo the whole unit because of that... still it is a way of doing it, thanks pOke +rep for that and to you too Solu9 for this useful tutorial.

Any other suggestions on how this could be done? Triggers perhaps?

I love rearranging and experimenting warcraft. One of that is changing the position of the buttons.

One day i observed that Hold Position button is useless in a Hero Arena so i would like to replace it with something useful and even the Patrol.

I search how to remove that and the only answer is







Remove Unit's ability to move
