Dismount

[seamountanda]

a quick question:

you have a unit in a halftack and you want to issue an order: first you want the unit to dismount, afterward you want the halftrack to move;

is it possible ? i issued a "pause" 30 seconds for the halftrack, then a "move" for the unit (dimount was not available), then i issued movement orders for the haltrack.

the problem is the unit didn't dismount until the halftrack reached the last waypoint ....

how to manage that ?

You give the unit a "Dismount" order, then a movement order. THEN you give the halftrack movement orders.

If Dismount order is not available, it's probably because you have already given the halftrack its orders. Cancel its orders, then do it in the order above

If you want the crew and passengers to leave the vehicle at the start of the turn and walk to a destination, select the vehicle, press dismount and issue move orders.

If you want the passengers to leave the vehicle at the start of the turn and walk, and the vehicle to drive somewhere after the passengers have gone, select the passengers, press dismount, then issue move orders.

If you want the passengers to leave the vehicle at the end of the vehicle's movement, issue move orders to both units, don't press dismount.

If you want the passengers to leave the vehicle at a waypoint and have the vehicle keep moving after the passengers have dismounted, it can't be done. You'll just have to use pauses to have the vehicle arrive where you want the infantry to dismount as close to the end of the turn as you can.
