Merchant ships have the ward classification. Game text is for testing purposes.

What this trigger is supposed to do is detect when a player attempts to right-click move a Merchant Ship, and then give the Ship it's previous order back through the use of unit groups. However, while this works perfectly fine when I test it on my merchant ships, I've done tests with computer slots and unused slots with shared control and the second dfghjk does not display. I can only assume that the Merchant Ship was not assigned to a unit group.

Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

This will turn off the trigger, every action after that will get stoped. Remove this trigger and the turn on trigger and it will work fine.

 

[Jedi]

No, you are wrong.It just turns off the trigger.

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

No, it just stops the trigger from executing again until it says "Turn on (This trigger)". This is because the event is "A unit Is issued an order.." and between the "Turn off" and "Turn on" is an "Order Unit" action. The turn off and ons are required to stop an infinite loop of the action causing the event over and over.

I still get the "BAC" message from testing, so I know the trigger does not suddenly stop in progress, rather it just stops from executing again during that very brief period.
