hmm i am sure that you can't just order them to move somewhere
however you can make them roam
my idea (might not work) is to make nuke restrictions like if it goes anywhere else than where u would like it to be it gets removed (i think remove will work)

ya i was gonna do that but it can take a long time before it goes in the right direction. Wouldn't move action work since its a instint transport?

I dont think nuke is an actual unit... so it would not be effected by the move unit to <location> command would work... but you can try

Yeah the nuke is a real unit I think or it might be just a sprite unit but if it is a unit than the command should work

It's a real unit, me and voyager had this conversation in a game not to lnog ago. He opened it's files and it IS a unit, with a very nice acceleration I might add.
I know it's possible to get it to go around a map flying but I don't know how.

Junk Yard Dog is the only way I know of..
Just tested; Patrol, Move, and Attack don't work.

You can use the AI Scripts 'Set Generic Command Target' and 'Make These Units Patrol' to order nukes around.
For example, if you want Nukes at Location A to go to Location B you would run 'Set Generic Command Target' at B, and 'Make These Units Patrol' at A.
By the way, Nukes will move extremely fast once they are done accelerating.

They can't finish accelerateing. Maps aren't big enough. If voyager would jump in here he could tell you the exact number, I can't remeber anything except xxx,xxx.

Yeah they can finish accelerateing. They don't slow down if they turn a little bit or even do a compleat 180 degree turn around. I once made a map that had the nukes flying to the top and bottom over and over again. After a while they would just zip past in the blink of any eye, they moved about as fast as my screen scrolled across the terrain.

Test maps are useful.
Oh, and syphon, you don't even have to use bolt's method, as it reaches max speed before it turns around on a 258x258 size map.
(Just see my attachment)
P.S. My attachment also proves that it reaches a max. speed.
P.S.S. It won't let me attach it.
P.S.S.S. The p14 Scarab speed trick doesn't work for this. Damn.

Does the nuke decelerate before reaching its destination like most air units? If it does then you can daisychain a bunch of locations/movement triggers to make the nuke seem to move slower.

RunAIScriptAt(Set Generic Command Target, nuke1); thats all it says how would it work it doesn't know where the nuke is... what u want me to tell them to patrol there? But that wouldn't work and btw that action was copied from starforge

"Set Generic Command Target" moves the 'generic command target', a point on the map, to the target location.
So, RunAIScriptAt(Set Generic Command Target, nuke1);.
Now it's at 'nuke1'.
"Make These Units Patrol" makes units at the target location patrol to the command target.
Now that you've set the command target, use this script to make the units move.
RunAIScriptAt(Make These Units Patrol, nuke2);.
All the units for current players at 'nuke2' will patrol to 'nuke1'.
Simple as that.
