I need you back, baby

It was working well for a bit, but then after the 6,3 update my units have been acting strangely. Especialy my flyers, war beasts, missle cavs, and just about any unit I wanna keep distant. They also have a tendency to just stand still. However recently my Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblin Wolf Archers run in a B line and I cant give them orders after they start their running animation, they also tend to abandon my orders when it comes to running away from safety. Additionally all of my units wither dont attack seige structures or simply stop midway and then walk randomly.

6.3 has been a rough time with my mods lol

In those massively outnumbered battles, I love holding my cavalry back so they can pull off those clutch charges to turn the tide. Every time I send them charging to wipe out the AI's front line, I try to pull them back to their holding spot before the next wave shows up—you know, to keep them from chasing stragglers right into the enemy's main force. But lately, it’s like they’ve got a mind of their own—the moment I call them back, they yeet themselves into the next blob of enemies like they’re on a suicide mission.

the problem with Gyrocopters and other ranged units - when they go in melee on ammo depletion - it is basic vanilla behavior
there is few problems here to solve it
- hard to determine if unit should or should not go in melee on ammo depletion, because it may be a skirmisher and player intention for it is to go to melee at the end
- the mod currently does not have logic to cancel player command or stop units, it only solves idle state
as a workaround you may avoid giving attack commands to ranged units, just reposition them to the right place and leave in fire-at-will state. Personally I play in this way

My soldiers will break formation and pursue on their own.

nice, check the flying ranged units too please, stuff like tzeench flamer and wood elf flyer. Those things just melt whenever something breath on them in melee range

hi, I think it's possible
I'll check Gyrocopters problem, it shouldn't be like that

Same experience with Leonardo, you can get massively screwed over when Gyrocopters go into melee. Hope that's fixable. Definitely a great idea though, should've been in the base game.

@Deo I don't have much experience with TW modding, would it be possible to tie this babysitting mechanic to a toggle, dummy unit ability, or just a shortcut (e.g. ctrl+rclick to give babysit attack order)? Thanks for the mod in any case.

This mod is good, however when ranged troops run out of ammo they would run into melee which is a massive downpoint for me, f my flying flamer in teenzch campaign too much

would this and AI commander work together? Probably not right?

never mind it works

no longer work with the update doesnt crash but doesnt work

I can confirm that this mod is functional without other mods that attempt to control player units.

@NoTalking that's a you problem, not the mod.

Dont recommend this mod. Units keep being idle for a reason.

@SEZER its not, its retarded gibbersish and him malding over his own mod conflicts.

@nobubblegums what he said isn't toxic nor troling, its critisism and is valid.

Best mod <3

dont recommend, you better off having idle units

@Captain_Cacao try Increased Responsiveness - re-uploaded edition.

Is there a mod like this but for movement orders? For example: if cav was ordered to pull out and run it would actually do it and not go save one model thats slightly stuck.

@The Spanish Inn Physician Did you pay for the mod? Stop being an asshole, good or bad this is a net positive for the community, unlike toxic trolls like you.

You have to use the attack mode much more conscientiously with this one, but it works as advertised. I wouldn't mind if guard mode units still attacked units very near to them, but that'd also create issues, so it's fine.

@The Spanish Inn Physician Guard mode works fine for me, I'll assume your other issues are from whatever conflicting mod is causing your guard mode being broken.

Do you want your ranged units to suicide themselves in melee once they run out of ammo? Then this mod is for you! Do you want your gyrocopter to go into melee with bloodknights once it runs out of ammo? Then this mod is for you! Do you want your units to ignore guard mode commands and continue to chase after units completely messing up their firing positions? Then this mod is for you. 10/10 would uninstall again.

@Honeybadger its a mod that lets you change settings of some mods, such as this one.

@Avallac I didnt even know what that is so I guess thats on me then. Ill look for it and see what I can do

Yes

Safe to deactivate midgame?

@Honeybadger you can change this in the mod configuration tool.

I see a few comments but not nearly as many as Id expect about units not chasing down broken units and then refusing to accept my order over the mods. This is causing many frustrations for me regarding ranged and siege units running away broken but then coming back to the fight being max range away because my units refuse to just end them. I feel like if I give a direct order to a unit it should overwrite the mods commands for x amount of time or something, the mod is otherwise great but this is a real major frustration.

sure i'll add an option

Would it be possible to add an option to remove the speed check you described? I mean units ignoring enemies if they are too fast for them, even if you give a direct order. It makes sense in a vacuum, but it doesn't take other factors into account, like other units that will join the fight and make it possible to catch up for example. I'm asking because I see the MCT has some options already, maybe this could be another one.

fire at will bug gone with your mod or what?

hi, this is most likely because target is faster then your unit and will never be reached

my units become distracted more often by enemie units. when i order them to attck B who is farther. they sometimes attack A who is closer but not close enough to initiate fight

Does this mod mitigate the fire at will bug i and other are experiencing at all?

please check those

Kaarn the vanquisher for khorne also has an ability called slaughter and bloodshed which makes all units in the battle (friend and foe) to go on a rampage. This one should also not autocast.

Nobber fangadoom legendary lord for greenskins has a skill Bigga an' Fierca. That one should not be automatic as it causes rampage, deals self damage and drains own magic.

yea, i can, let me know which one

Do you play by any chance with legendary characters mod? That mod adds some more characters to the game and some have unique skills. If you can disable one of those too (which should not autocast as it drains the lords hp for a buff) I can check which one it is.

Awesome, thank you very much! Also thank you for the amazing mod, I've been using it for a long time now, thanks for updating it too!

removed, please check if it works

sure, thanks

Can you please remove item granted single use ability to boost spell mastery for cathay called maw shard from autocast in melee?

Recommended to load this before or after Grimhammer?

it solved deo, thanks a lot

settings only saved when changed from world map

My settings keep resetting after battles.

@Lunatic Yes it is.
