Information on orders.dat fields

I had a need to figure out what the orders.dat unknowns do, so might as well document that here:
  • Unknown 4 - If set, overrides subunit's order as well when the main unit is ordered.
    Otherwise subunit's order doesn't change when issuing this order to the main unit.
  • Unknown 7 - If set, and the unit is shift-queued a waypoint path, the unit will slow down at each waypoint. Otherwise the unit only slows down at the end. (The exact behaviour is to slow down if there are no additional waypoints when the current order is started to be executed.)
  • Unknown 9 - If the unit is disabled with a spell (Lockdown/Maelstrom/Stasis), it is targeting a unit, and this flag is set, it will keep targeting once the spell wears off. Otherwise it will lose its target. If the unit is targeting ground, it will keep the target regardless of this flag's state.
  • Unknown 10/Can be obstructed - If the unit is a ground unit, targeting ground will cause the target to be clipped to the closest walkable position. Interestingly this flag is set for maelstrom, which makes it annoying to hit flying units on top of unwalkable terrain. <.<
  • Unknown 11 - If the unit is damaged by an attacker it cannot attack back, and this flag is set, it will interrupt the order to run away from the attacker. Ai-controlled units may disregard this flag in some situations.

Other unknowns are unused, bw only reads them in debug/beta builds for some assertions:
  • Unknown 2 - The order is a secondary order.
  • Unknown 3 - Non-subunits should be able to execute this order.
  • Unknown 5 - Subunits should be able to execute this order.
  • Unknown 12 - Order requires an unit that is able to move.

Oh_Man -- have i ever told u guys my SC2 pro-gamer story

Ultraviolet -- That's strange, it looks like you targeted the base image file (sometimes people make the mistake of just using the imgur page link which doesn't work for embedding) but it still didn't work it sounds like.

ManCubuS -- Used : " [img=https://i.imgur.com/gpOjTuD.jpeg] "

ManCubuS -- Even tried with imgur, doesn't attach.

ManCubuS -- I should try a workaround, thanks! Sadly imgur is blocked in my country for some unknown reason.

NudeRaider -- I think SEN has trouble with https or hotlinking is forbidden. It certainly is nothing about the size, it just fails to get any size. You can get it working if you use imgur and include the actual image link for the img tag. Like this: [img=https://i.imgur.com/ddYqXZa.jpeg]

ManCubuS -- Hey fellas! Anyone knows why when I try to upload an image it says "failed to get image size"? I even tried making it so small. Imgur isn't working here and I tried postimg no luck.
