Bug Description

I consider this an issue, because it kinda affects the team games. Those who know of this exploit may use it for their advantage.

1. Damage the building of your ally you want to infiltrate.
2. Get an engineer and an infiltrator unit.
3. Enter waypoint mode, give an order to move somewhere.
4. Next order in the waypoint mode: call them to enter your ally's building.
5. Engineer will repair it and infiltrator will enter it as well.

The 'infiltrate your own building' was fixed by Westwood, I believe this also should be fixed. The way you achieve this is not normal, so this isn't something that was planned.

This should be fixed in the alex04 branch.
The spy can still get the enter order, but it won't actually enter but just scatter. This might affect missions where spies are made to enter allied buildings. If this affects you, leave a note.
