Although setSpeedMode can be called on an individual unit, the entire group will be affected.

In Multiplayer, this command is overwritten by itself to NORMAL or FULLSPEED (i don't know which one, but it's fast move) when you ask the unit to move via script (ex : _unit doMove (getMarkerPos "destination"); ) The solution to solve this problem is to initialize the setSpeedMode after your order the unit to move. So basically it gives you : _unit doMove (getMarkerPos "destination"); _unit setSpeedMode "LIMITED"; If you plan to move the unit again after it reaches its destination, you will have to set the speed mode to LIMITED again like i did just above.
