I'm making a short movie sequence where i want some soliders to move in the background, there is 2 riflemen and 4 footmen.
First they are to move towards a unit when in 50 raduis of him they move to region x, now what i want to get workning is that all the units must be in region x before they move to region y and then to region z and then to unit again. I tries some different solutions to this but i just couldn't get i working. When i tries the units didn't move at all although there wasn't any weird conditions.

Another question that i've got is that how you make units stans the way you want. like stand - 4 it just wont wotk, they wont do it due to some unknown reason. Both of theese issues apperar with units that are neutral, should i change them to computer instead to make it work?

Thx for your help!

To change the way a unit is facing simply double click on the unit. A window will pop up which will allow you to set the degree you want the unit to be facing. Example: 185. I wish I could answer with more than one option for the poll. I love defense, madness, and RPG all the same. I can't get enough of any of them.

Play Animation - Specify Rarity is the trigger you are looking for.

"Play Animation" only reckognizes strings without numbers. To the engine, Stand -1 and Stand -2 are just "Stand". Stand -1 is always the "common" animation and "Stand -x" is the "rare" animation.

By using Play Animation, Specify Rarity, you can make a unit only use rare animations. However, you can't control exactly what the unit will do. If it has more than one rare animation, it will randomly play them all in sequence.

Thanks, but it has got to be some way to do this, at least bliss suceedes in theyre campaign although it doesn't mean it's makeable.
Anybody else know how to make exactly the on you want.
