HELP! Can't cancel order; soldiers thirsting
« on: August 13, 2010, 01:04:02 am »
Hey guys,

So I set an order for one of my squads of 10 to kill a creature. Creature's dead (Hurrah) but now they are still set on that order and standing around. I cannot cancel it. The o is greyed out (Ack!).

What do? They're getting very thirsty and won't get back to everyday life.

Thanks a ton.

Set their alert to off duty?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Under your squads menu, you can accidentally select individuals from a squad. Ensure that you're not in that view, and select the whole squad. (Usually s>a.) If you do have individuals selected, it'll probably be s>A>a, depending on your keyset. If my information is false, please forgive me, as it's after 2:30am here, and I don't currently have a world genned to check.

I apologize if this was not very helpful.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Have you tried giving them a new (move) order and then cancel that order?
