Excerpt

Instruct a droid to retreat to

...

a pre-defined retreat point. Read docs before using!

Availability

Example

Code Block
themeEclipse
languagejavascript
titleAttack an enemy object
linenumberstrue
orderDroidObj(myDroid,DORDER_RETREAT,enemyObject);

Notes

The droid's current order can be determined from it's .order property. For more infomration see Droid object.

This order likely won't do what you expect it to do. As Per explained, DORDER_RETREAT will make your droid go to a pre-defined retreat point - something that seems to be specific to campaign missions. I currently have no idea how that point is defined, perhaps through map labels?

What you probably want to use is DORDER_RTB (return to base), DORDER_RTR (return to repair) or DORDER_REARM (return to rearming pad - VTOLs only). You could even use DORDER_MOVE in conjunction with your start position.
