Tank Group Formation

[Brute 11]

I have tried to initilize the group with "TS1 = group this; TS1 formation FILE" to try and get them to spawn in a compact lin however they dont? Nor do they spawn in a compact line if i specifically place them in a line in the editor?

People spawn in formation for me if I create a group, each element of which has the special "in formation." Then I create a waypoint for the group on the leader of the group with the desired formation and they spawn correctly.

An example to add a waypoint to a spawned group (with formation)

_this = [b][color="Red"]TS1[/color][/b] addWaypoint [[4524.3, 7938.0, 0], 0];
_this setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_this setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";
_this setWaypointType "MOVE";
[_this, 0] setWaypointFormation "COLUMN"
[_this, 0] setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
_waypoint_0 = _this;

Forcing them to use a specific formation via using a waypoint is pretty simple, i simply cannot get them to spawn in formation.

As TKTom wrote, place such a waypoint on top of the leader of the group. That is, with waypoints enabled (F4), simply doubleclick on the leader to place a waypoint on him.
