I think I was trying to double click the other faction rather than the red bit which maybe where I am going wrong.

Thanks for the help.

It's simple, its just completely unobvious.

1. Alt f2.
2. Double click on the red bit in phillipjfrys screenshot to choose a different player. At this point you ARE the other player. You control their units. You see what they see.
3. Spawn a monkey *from cheat menu not copy paste* and give it a move order to other side of map.

4. Swap team back to your original player as per step two.

5. Get killed by monkey

As much as I try I cant get any other faction to move.

They dont even show up unless in radar range .Think my install must be bugged somehow or I've completely missed something.

Sry for being a pain but there is so much to learn which is impossible in game.

Ok thanks.
I must be using it wrong as I clicked cybran and spawned a spider and it spawned same colour as me under my control even though I'm aeon.

So I spawned it again as civilian enemy which worked but I cant control it.

You can take command of any faction with cheats enabled by opening the cheat menu (alt+f2) and double clicking on the faction you want. Then you can give whatever commands (move, attack, patrol, etc) you want.

Thanks.

How do you get an enemy unit to attack me ie move towards my base as it just sits there.

I'm trying to set the scene where there's an early spider after my cmdr and I want to practice OC.
I need some idea of how many shields some pd and in aeon case what type of upgrades will do the trick.

Also can you double up OC ready for when the spider gets in range and will the extended range help get more shots in ?

ctrl-shift-c to copy selected units
ctrl-shift-v to paste

(you can also copy the stuff from step 1 into notepad so that you can recopy it later... like a year later)
