Is there a way to make ships fight in formation? I am pretty sure it's possible, but I'm not sure what to change where. |

I don't know what you want to do exactly so there are a few possible places to look at : - the Formation script (scripts dir) that sets the formation (like claw, delta) according to aggressive/passive/defensive mode - the Attack scripts (scripts dir) that set the ships' flight pattern in combat according to target type - the CanAttack ability in the ship file, where you control if the squadron breaks out in smaller units when engaging. I hope that helps. Edited by Sun Tzu on 05-04-2006 17:09 |

Close, close. I'm looking for a way for multiship formations (F5-F7) to maneuver together. |

Strike groups? There are strike group scripts in the script folder. Also the strike group spacing is set in tuning.lua. You might need to reduce that spacing to Vanilla proportions as the PDS number is too high imo (except for capital ship fire nets).

What I want is to have ships that fly in formation while maneuvering so that they can concentrate their AM systems. |
