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 tkoh logo small.png1.00 and as of Arma 3 logo black.png2.14, using any negative value on a helicopter will not reset the speed limit, but will force it to fly in reverse.
Groups:
Unit ControlObject Manipulation
