Default ATF: Assigning Paths/Prerequisite Data

Yesterday, I was jumping for joy at finally figuring out how to copy and paste data from the clipboard to be used in AI scripting. Today, I'm weeping.

My intent:

I want my an enemy platoon to attack an LZ when friendly forces arrive.

Script:

1. Drew path for desired enemy unit to LZ, making sure the unit was not in stop mode, then cut the path.

2. Went into AI Faction->Create->Prerequisite Data->Add->Route. I gave the route a name, and left other boxes empty, and clicked ok. The builder asked me if I wanted to use the path on clipboard. I clicked yes, and path was added.

3. Went and drew an event Box around the LZ

4. Went back to AI Faction->Edit->Enemy->Phase Order->Sustain Order->Then set up an Event Box. I tagged the helicopter company to hierarchy giving them a setting of 0 greater than/not equal to.

5. Then set up an order Assign Path, chose the unit, and selected the path stored in game.

So why the heck aren't they moving?

I tried to test my plan in the builder. I drew a path to for the helicopters to the LZ. Nothing happens.

I assigned the enemy force I wanted to move a formation. When the helios reach the LZ, they seem to form up, but stop.

Any info would be appreciated.
