Pitot Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Since I have noticed this issue so long ago, and nothing changed, I take freedom in supposing that I am doing something wrong. Please correct me if I am wrong, or point me out to how to properly use the Mission Editor option I am about to write about. In Mission Editor, you have an option to set a group formation (line, wedge, diamond etc.), and it is applicable at waypoints. Now, I was thinking that you can use it to tell, for example, a group of tanks to move in a wedge formation across the field, or to tell a group that when it comes to the last waypoint - to take a certain formation and then stop. I am not any kind of advanced mission editor guy, just to mention it, so again - since I have this issue for a loooong time, I suppose that if it was a bug it would be fixed by now, and that is probably an indicator that I am actually not doing it right. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject, please? :) EDIT: The actual issue is that units act like no formation command is set. Moves trough waypoints, stops at last, nothing else.

MasterZelgadis Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Well...the function should do exactly that. But what is your question or issue now? 1 "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler. Ein fetter Adler." http://www.space-view.net
Pitot Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Well...the function should do exactly that. But what is your question or issue now? Well it acts like no command is given. If it is a column, it just moves from point to point, or if you give the last WP to be offroad>formation-line (just an example) it just stops at the last waypoint, still holding in an ordinary column. So, when I set the option to assume preffered formation - it acts like no command to assume specific formation is given. Don't ask, here's the answer: 95% of my posts are edited because I have OCD.
grunf Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 If you want the column to stop in a certain formation, you could add another waypoint just before it stops, and order the units to take that formation. I never actually tried it, just an idea. :D 1
Pitot Posted June 23, 2016 Author Posted June 23, 2016 Lol, that works, tnx XD Don't ask, here's the answer: 95% of my posts are edited because I have OCD.
311Gryphon Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Lol, that works, tnx XD Nice. I hadn't messed with that but it sounds like it doesn't set their formation till the way point is activated or something. That's probably the incorrect way to describe it but if I remember correctly Operation Flashpoint and ARMA way points worked similarly. 1 http://www.youtube.com/user/311Gryphon i7-8700, 32 GB DDR4 3000, GTX 1080 TI 11GB, 240 GB SSD, 2TB HDD, Dual (sometimes Triple) monitor, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Combat Pedals, TrackIR [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
