Overview

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

Availability

Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.

Example

Attack an enemy object
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? If you try this order, or know how to define retreat points, please post a comment on the page to let us know!

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.
