Movement Speed Zero - It works.

OK.. I keep reading posts about someone setting the movement speed of a unit to zero, and it still being able to wander about... hell, I even posted a question about it at some point.

Well here's the thing... If you set the "Movement - Unit Speed - Minimum" value under Game Constants (with TFT) you CAN set the movement speed of a unit to zero, and it WILL work. Ordinarily, setting it at zero just makes it the minimum value.

I hope there isn't already some post like this... if there is I couldn't find it, and it sure would have solved a lot of my problems... Hope this helps someone out there.

LOL I just took a look at the object editor for units and noticed they now have 3 different movement speed values. I think the min and max apply to the effects of the unit movement speed trigger and perhaps limit its functionality, just a guess I haven't tested it though:(

Yes that is correct. However, a unit with 0 movement speed can't use any movement spells, such as mass teleport, blink, etc.

if you don't want anyone to move you could always set movement type to none. it is easier than doing gameplay constants to 0 and also having to change the units speed and so on. just change movement type from foot(or fly or whatever) to none.

Setting gameplay constants movement speed to 0?
I can't seem to do that... dunno why... I don't mess with gameplay constants much but I can't seem to get lower than 25. I type 0 and it goes to 25... nothing annoying... but it's like the Max Movement speed can't go past 400. How did you guys get past that?

Game constants cannot be edited completely with a default editor to my knowledge.

Setting movement type to none will allow a unit to traverse across any terrain. Graphics look like its on 'foot' movement type.
