ok i built a guardian, put it on high traj, then made it shoot at my base in order to get the high traj shit up, so, then i stopped it (because i dont want to shoot my base) but it still shot my base >_< happened multiple times.

the STOP button doesnt work!

maybe the auto-targeter automatically selects its previous target again?
Put it on hold fire, and then press stop.

stop only stops movement. try hold fire

stop works on attack... most of the time, seems like it doesnt work for guardian or high traj ...

A stopped unit will fire after stop command if an enemy unit is within weapon range. To change that you need to put it on hold fire.

but i force-attacked the ground in my base... it wasnt enemy unit or anything

its the only way to make the high traj working when there is obstacles between my aim target and the guardian (pretty silly isnt it?)

the 'hold-fire' command is for telling things to not shoot
the 'stop' command is to cancel orders (i think)

so when i press stop for my LLT when it is shooting, im doing it wrong?

i should be clicking multiple times this "hold fire - fire at will - return fire" shit instead? :D

stop stops firing too. but if a unit is in range of an enemy and "fireatwill"mode, it will pick a new target instantly.

when you stop it, it should stop shooting ground. and i tested with high traj guardian, and it did stop. You sure it wasnt bullets shot long ago and just took ages flying in the air? Or give a replay or smthing cause i cant replicate this

I faced this too before, it seems unintuitive

until it fixed or w/e,

Solution, go into FPS mode, then exit - that should work amirite
