Formation help

Dive! Dive! Dive! · 05-31-12, 11:21 AM

I'm thinking of making a mission with formations of ships and aircraft. I tried to make my own ship formation and they all collided and only a few made it undamaged to the engagement zone. Anybody know how to make formations?

try to separate the single units in the formation by a greater margin...the collision-avoidance routines in DW have issues...

Agreed on that one. Sometimes I think a bunch of cretins were put in charge of the units.

If you set up a script that says 'Collision Avoidance' for each platform, it may provide a solution.
