TEMPEST.114 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 When I set them moving to a waypoint they form a huge, long queue, and if the waypoint is closer than the length of the queue then they never move in the back of the queue. Can I tell them to form the queue with a shorter gap between each other? I can't even change formation for them.

I don't believe there is (unless there's some variable in a .lua file that can be altered as a hack). Only option I can think is to change the formation from single line to V, abrest, etc. They may still be spread out, but could solve the problem with the back infantry not moving at all for shorter walks.

For some reason I am not able to select any formation. But thanks.

TEMPEST.114 Posted October 25, 2022 Author Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Not showing at all. Does it matter that I'm using INFANTRY from the Blue Coalition Joint Forces group? Should I just use USA instead to get the formation to appear? Edited October 25, 2022 by Elphaba
dark_wood Posted October 25, 2022 Posted October 25, 2022 (edited) Working as expected, just select the waypoint, then in the right menu, click the drop-down TYPE and choose a formation, default is Off road - see attached image. Hope it helps. Edited October 25, 2022 by dark_wood
Dangerzone Posted October 26, 2022 Posted October 26, 2022 Would "custom" allow you to group them closer together? (I'm not sure but does custom keep the current layout set in the ME)? 1

I'm advocating that they either aren't mutually exclusive, or if they are, then you should still be able to change the spacing but keep them 'ON ROAD'.
TEMPEST.114 Posted November 3, 2022 Author Posted November 3, 2022 Also, even if I create them in a line (30 of them) when they start to move, they don't stay in formation (back ones jump the queue) and when they stop the stop back to the 60ft spacing regardless of how close they were when they spawned with CUSTOM setting. Unless I'm doing something wrong.
