Examples such as: Move - Move from one area that you clicked on to another area you clicked on Attack - Attack the unit you just clicked on Guard - Causes the Ally to stand still and watch out for enemies And units should have a loud hurt sounds, that way if your ally is getting shot, you'll know. *Papercut Pro-Murder.

It would be easier if you can only give commands to Allies that are on your screen *Papercut Pro-Murder. Legalize Crime. You need to login to create posts in this thread.

You have a tactical plan over the area, then you give your troops some waypoints, which can also be set that they hold at one point, then you hit some button that makes them move to the next waypoint? The troops youll find IN the area, will just follow their own waypoint, which you would have to edit in the editor, if you want it changed.
