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.

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