#How to do commanding in GM on PC at least

First place a unit or group you want to command members of

Then create a spawn point for the faction you will play as

Then click “v” to open the first page of the scenario properties and make sure the faction you want to play as is enabled

Then click play to spawn in

Then walk up close to the unit you want to command and while facing them click “~” and the top option on the scroll wheel will give the option to recruit click it with left mouse

Repeat for any additional units you desire to recruit as you only recruit one at a time rather than entire groups

From here press “~” to open the command menu and it should work as intended seamlessly

When using the map use right mouse to open a radial menu and use the bottom option to add commands through the map

If you follow all these steps and for whatever reason the recruit prompt doesn't show in the wheel then press the follow me prompt and if the player says a line and does an animation that should fix it, now when you try to recruit an AI it should give you the prompt

No it does to my knowledge, it works seamlessly there, GM is the problem child

How can i recruit AI on Conflict mode ?

So, basically there are three important things for Commanding to work.

  1. Commanding related components need to be present on gamemode and player controlller (this is more for modders if they want to make it run, since those are already present in gamemaster and conflict maps)
  2. Player has to be in a group
  3. Player has to be leader of that group for now

Current issue that we found now is that when you spawn through GM space, it looks like you have group assigned, but there is something wrong with it, and we're investigating the issue.
If you spawn through deploy screen, and join group through there, it assigns you the group correctly.

GM taking control of AI is for now unsupported by commanding.

It might be handy to remember that you can bind commands to quickslots, by using ctrl+5 - ctrl+0 to have quick access to them without the radial menu.

Keybind for commanding can be found in keybinding menu -> Common -> Commanding (last entry at the bottom) for both PC and Xbox 😁

Regarding the issue where AIs sometimes stop responding to orders and become uncommandable it is something we are investigating too, but that is bit more difficult to track down, so any feedback or experience with that and possible related issues is very welcome ❤️
