it would make his AI much more powerful

But this is indeed the issue!

I think I have not been able to explain myself. I try again. AI is not able to tell a droid to move at his highest speed if this droid is belonging a group. AI cannot press F11.

There is no diference at all between orderDroidLoc() or orderGroupLoc(), they both have the same effect on the droid speed: if the droid is in a group it moves at the higher speed of the slowest droid, even using orderDroidLoc() -> THIS IS THE ISSUE (from my point of view), this should be changed.

Please do not tell me I have to put units with the same body and engine in the same group. This is a huge change in the AI script, but if this is the only way to get a better AI I will follow this way.

I know that already. I was talking to KuKY, not you.

Speed limiting is not done in orderDroidLoc or orderGroupLoc. There's nothing in either function that can be changed! THAT is the issue.

The best solution I can think of is to toggle formation limiting with a script function. I'd help you, but WZScript is not my area of expertise. See if you can get Per to do it.

Ok thanks a lot, now all clear. I will ask Per.

Please make a bug ticket about it, then I'll try to get it done once I get some available time.
