Has anybody got the commanders ~ commands to work?

[[KG]Destaex]

I give an order and the order is given vocally and at the bottom of the screen but the driver will not follow it. I imagine I have to release control to the driver somehow?

Yes, you're correct.

First enter the drivers seat and hit the autopilot button. The driver should be then AI and not respond to keyboard commands anymore. Then go to the commander and use the command menu.

I tried pressing autopilot and the driver immediately tried to follow the mission order and backtrack on me instead of following my last order. I guess I need to try giving another order while he high tails it in the wrong direction.

Also can I pick a point on the large strat map and say to the drive use roads to go there? This would save 20 mins of driving in multiplayer missions.

I dunno what kind of mission you are playing, but you can just hit the autopilot and immideatly go commander, hit something like ~, F3, F4, F1, then the driver will stop. If you do it a few times you can do it very quickly

As soon as I hit A for autopilot the driver starts auto following the mission route and I have to F key through the menus (takes time) until I can counter the order. I was just playing one of the canned tank missions to test. Driver does not stop until I get to the bottom of the tree with a meaningful order. I shall be quicker! Halt should be the top of the order tree and a single command.

 

Thanks though Appreciate it.

Maybe use VoiceAttack and set up a macro

Yeah that's cool. I will just deal with it. At least now I know what is going on.
