Description

Description:

Limit the speed of an AI-driven vehicle or AI person to given value. It has continuous effect and AI will not break through the speed limitation until one is contacted, engaged or regrouped.

Problems:

Since 1.00 and as of 2.14, using any negative value on a helicopter will not reset the speed limit, but will force it to fly in reverse.
