Hi Patrick,
The Movement trail is removed when the unit is marked 'Not Moved'. This happens
in one of two ways:
1) In your map options, you have an option 'Mark units as moved' which can have
values of 'Always' or 'Never' or 'Use Preferences'. As long as this option is
not 'Never', then you will get a 'Mark unmoved' toolbar button on the map.
Clicking this button will makeall units on the map as unmoved and the trails
will reset for all of them.
2) If you want to be able to this on a counter by counter basis, then you need
to add the 'Mark when moved' trait to the counters. This adds a command to flip
the status of the moved flag moved/unmoved. You can use this command to reset
the trail on an individual counter. You do not have to specify a moved marker
image if you do not want moved units to be highlighted.
3) You also have the 'Movement trail' command itself which turns display of the
trail on/off, but does not reset it.
4) If you do not want the trail to display when the unit is not selected, then
set the 'Unselected trail transparency' to 0%.
Cheers,
Brent.
