Wait Commands?
I would like to know how to use these, if possible. Thanks!
there are 2 wait commands.
in Queue wait
Just like adding a building after another building in a buildqueue, you can add a Wait command in between order.
Once the queue reaches the in queue wait command, the unit(s) will stop, and wait till the user presses the in queue wait key to continue with the rest of the queue.
Instant wait
It will pause any activities inmediatly.
It works for Labs, so be carefull of using it in labs or your production will cease till you press instant wait again.
This command does not modify any current queue the unit may have, but just pauses it.
from default uikeys.txt

Nice job Mongus.
Waits can also be used to keep a unit's queue while
it is being transported. Give the unit an immediate
wait, queue the commands, then transport the unit. It
will be unloaded with its queue intact (and still in wait
mode).
P.S. Want to make something similar for:
- timewait
- deathwait
- squadwait
- gatherwait / gathermode?

Thank you for the explanation, but i have one last question:
how do i use squad wait? Apparently, you can specify what a squad is, and order a factory to build that with a squad wait. When there is what constitutes a squad at a point, it goes on with the que, such as heading to a transport point, or to the frontlines. How would i use this?
thanks!

It was years since someone bring ur spelling in a topic ^^
Are you studing computer games? .. in that case whats the translation for lecturer? ..
Think its the guy who gives the class...
And about the config files.. well .. the uikeys is only lacking a gui frontend.
The config file with the text must be created anyhow, with or without the feaures...
Just we are lacking that frontend yet.
e:and better examples, more readable information on it.
oh, and btw i think both the animations sucks.. but at least is something!

Here's a fairly complete list of the available commands.
Once my system is working a little better, I'll revisit it.

P.S. Please let me know if you find any missing/incorrect entries.
