I'm pretty certain I had this working before but when I create a mission I can no longer control/move infantry around. I tried this simple test

 

- Create new mission

- Add a UH-1H, cold start (or any other flyable aircraft)

- Add a infantry unit

- Select 'Player can control' from the battlefield menu

- Start the flight, switch to F10 and select the infantry. I see the little '>' arrow next to the unit details but I don't see the second window where you can set the Target point etc..

 

If I create an infantry unit using script, set the 'PlayerCanDrive' attribute to 'True' and then use the F10 map I can then set their target etc.. It seems that infantry units created via the miz editor can't be moved/controlled.

 

I've attached my test mission to demonstrate.

 

 

Any ideas?

Just discovered, if I hold the Left Shift key down and then click around the screen using Left Mouse button, I can set waypoints. If I then press the Right Mouse button the units will accept that path.

 

I suspect there's something wrong with the GUI - look at this screen shot. You can see that I don't have the 'Waypoint' box available (even though I click the '>' button several times).

I also have this problem and its quite annoying. I have found that I could move and task USA infantry groups as normal but not Russian. I thought this might have had something to do with the infantry type so I tried all types of infantry on the Russian and side but I still cannot move these infantry groups.

 

Might be worth trying in 1.2.7 to see what happens and then reporting to make sure it actually gets fixed this time.

 

*edit*

 

Tying the method of holding shift and left/right clicking works fine on groups that are missing GUI for the GC.
