Blast command question

[jonp]

All,

Can someone tell me if there is a way to tell units to blast a hedge and not move through?

Can you actually order a blast command on the same side you are on and the game engine is smart enough to know to blast the hedges in front AND not go through?

Thx,

There is actually a tutorial somewhere.

Here is a quick summery of the subtleties in using BLAST:

Want the engineers to GO THROUGH then set the BLAST point on the other side of the obstacle.

Want the engineers NOT TO GO THROUGH then set the BLAST command on the same side as the engineers are on.

Want the engineers NOT TO RUN UP TO THE OPENING then set the BLAST command on the same side as the engineers are on, but with a 45 sec delay. The explosion should happen right at the end of the turn. Next turn give a STOP order to the engineers, and this will prevent them from running up to the opening.

Want to blow holes that VEHICLES CAN GO THROUGH then set the BLAST command on the same side as the engineers are on, but place the line PARALLEL to the obstacle.
