Soldier stay still but look around?

[ChrisDRob 10]

How can I get a soldior to stay still but to look around?

Basically what I'm trying to do is make a sniper on top of a tower look around for enemies while remaining on the tower, as opposed to actually jumping of the tower to look around. I just want him to stay still where he spawns but

constantly looking in the distance for enemies. Is this possible, and if so how can I do this> Also how can I get a soldier using a static spotlight, or a mounted weapon to constantly look left and right, while obviously while remaining where they are?

Thanks.

dostop yourunitname

this will make the unit stop and be able to freely look around.

However this command has backdraws when used on groups.

if you use this command on a unit thats in a group and isnt the leader of that group, any move orders that are given to the group will be ignored by this unit.

sometimes they just go off and do their own thing, so best to use it on a group leader

youd have to script a unit changing direction. theres already one out but i forgot what its called. but it does what you ask.

for sniper not moving at all, but still looking around and shooting put this in unit initline:

_unitName disableAI "MOVE"

No, disableAI "MOVE" also disables his ability to look (rotate) around. He will only shoot if you walk into his cone of fire, he won't adjust so he can shoot at you. At least last I checked.
