How to spawn units ?

[Gr1nder]

How do you spawn units to practice with in sandbox ?

alt+f2, having cheating enabled

Thankyou

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)

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 ?

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.

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.

Just made you a screenshot for your convenience.

That's great thanks for your help

I will try it out tonight after work.

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.
