Group Rifle Squad & Formation

[RANKER 10]

People

One thing I am wondering about is the "Group Tool".

Each time I place a Rifle squad or a Fire Team on my map

they always appear in a wide " V " formation, and soldiers

are space out a bit to much at my taste.

Lot of time the base is on a small piece of land and soldiers

are every were except near the ammo box (spawn west).

I decided to place one by one each soldier "not in formation"

and put them in a line formation in front of the ammo box,

and group them to an officer (all of them are playable).

When I tested the mission ...........same thing the were in

V formation again

Is it possible to change the formation of the squad or team

in a " line " formation and less space between soldiers ??

I have no more ideas, it seems like when you "group" them

with a leader (no mater if you choose no formation for each

of them) they do it any way !

Any suggestion will be awesome.

Change them from in formation to none.

You can as you discovered use the NONE formation to make them start where you place them but they'll still try to move into formation.

To make the group form into a line at the start put this in the leader's init:

group this setFormation "LINE";

To make them stay where you placed them put this in their init:

doStop this;

However that will remove them from the group's formation and they won't follow the leader anymore. They will however respond to threats independently.
