What is WW AIMenu
This is a really simple mod that adds a few needed commands for otherwise either buggy or incomplete behavior for friendly AI units in group. I can't live without those commands, but I am not sure of how useful the mod will be for most of you. I was hesitant of sharing this, but decided to do it anyway. I am keeping this mod as a platform to add other AI commands. So if you do have any ideas you want to add to the mod, please do share it with me here.
Features:
Adds explosives list of all the explosives in the selected units. Point where you want them to be planted and the unit will place it there. You will get the set off if there is on in your action menu.
Safe mode heal. This heal command will allow the selected units to heal themselves up. If there is a medic, the medic will go around and heal everyone. If there are no medics, the units will share their extra First aid with others if they have it.
Combat mode heal. For this command, units will try to heal themselves up using first aid first. If there is a medic and the unit is not too far away, he will pop smoke if the unit's health is too low and will attempt to heal him. Units will attempt to share their first aid only if the distance is not too far off.
A rearm command that actually works. Point at the object you want them to rearm at and select that command.
Opens inventory for units to whatever object you point at. Allows inventory to be opened between units. If you are looking at the unit itself, it will open the inventory where it stands. Same if no appropriate object is in your cursor
Adds control on engine on and off for all AI controlled vehicles in your group
Adds control on weapon accessories for AI like lights on/off supressor on/off and IRLaser on/off
Unstuck command for any units or vehicles the AI is in. If no units are selected, it unstucks the player.
Landing AI piloted heli on designated position. The AI pilot will fly to the designated area and land there. position is selected on the map.
Clearing buildings of threats. AI will attempt to clear the whole building then come out.
Add multiple waypoints for units to go to in order
Control in flight height for Aircrafts

Bonus GlovePIE script
This is a script I modified based on a script by Suchy. If you do not know what glovePIE is, it's basically a free application that maps controls to anything. This script will allow for voice activated commands to control the AI squad. It has commands for WW AIMenu as well. I thought to share it with you.
How to use GLovePIE
Simply load the script in GlovePIE and press run. Make sure glovePIE is running as admin. Say "Activate voice commands" to activate it. After that use the push to talk button to command squads. The keybind for the push to talk is by default mouse button 4. You can change it in the script to whatever you like. Also command "Enable hands free" will disable push to talk for 45 minutes.
