Unit Order

[Vengeancekael]

How the heck do you order a unit to move to a point, but also attack units in his way? I've been knocking my head on my keyboard for an hour now.

attack order?

 

[Vengeancekael]

mm yeah, but attack move to a point. Hard to find it.

Actions > Unit > Issue Order

Then click the ( next to ability command and choose Order targetting Point then tell it to Attack to wherever you want it to. The unit will move to the point and attack anything in the way.

^I wonder what's the difference between that and "Scan attack". Because if you order a unit to scan-attack to a point, it will attack units in it's way.

That default configuration is really stupid. Hope they will change it later.

It won't work D:

Works for me fine...
How does your trigger looks like? Maybe post it here (or just the action).

 

[Vengeancekael]

Here we go:

 

[Amigurumi]

so your unit runs to the point without attacking, or doesn't your unit do anything?
does the Triggering unit refer to your unit?

 

[Vengeancekael]

It does refer to the unit, but it doesn't do anything.

 

[Sgt. Johnson]

It does refer to the unit, but it doesn't do anything.

Can you post the entire trigger instead of just the order trigger, there could possibly be a problem with something else in the trigger.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Nevermind, it's fixed

I got to

Order all units in (unit group) to (blank) (replacing current orders). In the blank spot, can someone tell me where I need to go to get to any kind of movement (specifically attack), because I too am getting a headache on this seemingly simple task.

you have to click on the ( before the blank. there you can pick the 'Order Targeting Point'.
WIth that, you can choose your point.
