Now that I actually had a chance to try the feature, let me tell something about it.
When scripting squad or commanders you can store their scripts in one of ten memory locations. You do that simply by placing mouse pointer over the script (not clicking any mouse buttons) and pressing CTRL+number (it can be any number 0-9). Now that script is memorized. When you want another commander/squad to use that script just place mouse pointer over the script of that commander and press number (no ctrl of anything else, just number) for that script and that commander will automatically get that script. All scripts you saved in your current game are saved with saved games so you don't have to do it over and over again when you exit/enter game.
Ok, here is an example:
I have several commanders that I want to (Cast)(Cast)(Attack Closest). I make that script for one of them (you have to make script before storing it, of course), place mouse over that script and press CTRL+1. Now that script is stored in memory location 1. Now lets assign that script to the rest of commanders. You place mouse over script of some other commander and press 1. His script will automatically change to (Cast)(Cast)(Attack Closest). Repeat that until all commanders have proper scripts (this is starting to sound like recipe
).
When I say to place mouse over commander’s script I mean exactly that - not over his name, or his picture but over his script. Same thing goes for squads.
Just a note, scripts for commanders and scripts for squads are not compatible. You can't assign squad script to commander or vice versa so bear that in mind when you chose numbers. I like to use numbers 6-0 for squads (maybe less since they don't have so many commands) and 1-5 for commanders.
