kupcho 19 Posted November 13, 2013 I was wondering; Has anyone else noticed that the squad formations are gone? I was trying to script a mission where I had a group of tanks attacking into an area, and I wanted them to move on line. I noticed that when I previewed the mission (to make sure that they WERE moving as I wanted), that they were moving as a column. At first, I thought that maybe I had deleted the waypoint where I set the formation, etc..., but it was still there. Then I tried other formations to see if it was only the 'line' formation that wasn't working, and found out that it didn't matter which formation I assigned to the group, they would ONLY move as a column. Ideas? Observations? Criticisms? All are appreciated. I can't learn if I'm unaware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted November 13, 2013 IIRC vehicles are moving in column as long as they aren't in combat mode. Since OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heinrich Kramer 172 Posted November 14, 2013 that applies to infantry too, sadly. i even hear the squadleader say "form diamond", but they walk in a coloumn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2nd ranger 282 Posted November 14, 2013 No, both of those things are only true if the units are in SAFE mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProfTournesol 956 Posted November 14, 2013 No, both of those things are only true if the units are in SAFE mode. True, just checked it and it's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kupcho 19 Posted November 14, 2013 So it only applies to them if they are in safe mode... No sense to me, but if that's what it is, oh well. Maybe BI will make a change (I hope). When I place my patrols around a city that is considered (by the enemy) to be SAFE, I set them into SAFE so they move with their weapons down. Thanks for the info folks.
