Launch a game with only your playable unit, and then execute this below code.

When using action, the unit should turn to you, and when using a second time the action, unit stop to look at you. ...and repeat this both step.

Execute a second time this same code below to test the second alternative (do NOT restart the game!!!)(more description on Additional Information).

if !isNil"TEK_UNIT" then {
	deleteVehicle TEK_UNIT;
};
TEK_ALTERNATIVE = ["BAD","GOOD"] select (!isNil"TEK_ALTERNATIVE" && {TEK_ALTERNATIVE == "BAD"});
TEK_SCRIPT = switch TEK_ALTERNATIVE do {
	case "BAD": {{_target lookAt _caller;}};
	case "GOOD": {{_target lookAt getPos _caller;}};
};
TEK_UNIT = createGroup civilian createUnit ["C_Man_French_universal_F", player modelToWorld [0,3,0], [], 0, "NONE"];
TEK_RESET = false;
hint format ["%1 SCRIPT", TEK_ALTERNATIVE];
TEK_UNIT addAction [
	"Hello Tequiller",

		hint format ["%1 SCRIPT\n\nplayer distance _caller\n%2", TEK_ALTERNATIVE, player distance _caller];
		if TEK_RESET then {
			_target lookAt objNull;
