Squads not responding...
« on: November 29, 2007, 04:55:00 am »

I started on a goblin fortress and when I went to command my squad to go somewhere they wouldnt go until I had dissolved the squad, then when reactived they would go to the waypoint , once there they would just stand there and wouldnt move to my next waypoint. This has been happening to me alot even in 33b etc . Makes for commanding troops to be rather annoying. I am using 33c now.

Second:

Does anyone else know why when you command the squad to go up a level it says " no squad available" etc , how to move from one elevation to another?

Select them on the z-level they are on, then change levels. It keeps them selected.

To make sure of that, once a squad is highlighted press [l] to lock onto that squad. Even if your cursor goes somewhere else entirely or gets near other squads the locked squad will stay highlighted.
