you dont need a unit group to order move /patrol or anything else. just select the right thing.
@blueberry
give the ability to your unit without having an icon on it. so the unit has the ability but it is not shown to the player. then order "build w/e" skill " "wbf - build". you need a target point to build something, or you use the position of the unit as build pos.
That's not what I'm doing, I'm trying to make it so they can use a build command even though the default UI is hidden. This wouldn't even be a problem if the UI wheren't hidden, but when it is, you can't use abilities like you normally would at all. I can't find a work around so far.
