Overview

Excerpt

Instruct a droid to "scout" to a new location.

Availability

Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.

Example

Code Block
themeEclipse
languagejavascript
titleMove a droid to where I first started out on this map
linenumberstrue
// scout to specific location (assuming droid can get there)
orderDroidLoc(myDroid,DORDER_SCOUT,startPositions[me].x,startPositions[me].y);
 
// scout to specific object (assuming droid can get there)
orderDroidObj(myDroid,DORDER_SCOUT,gameObject);

Notes

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

This is very similar to DORDER_MOVE, however with DORDER_SCOUT the droid will also attack nearby enemy targets while its travelling.

If the droid can't reach the location you've specified due to terrain obstacles, it won't move.
