:waving.gif: As far as I know Billy , you would have to give each huvee its own waypoint but even doing that you would have trouble keeping perfect formation, unless you are on flat ground, and all huvees are traveling at the same speed. The terrains hills and etc. will cause the huvee's distance between each other to vary.Actually they would probably stay close enough together for what you want though. Without the separate waypoints , the huvee's will want to travel in single file. Hope that helps a little.

I don't remember which game it was... but I thought (and likely wrong) setting the AI state to formation got the vehicles in a group to stay an equal distance from each other.

I think it it was BHD... not sure. I'm probably wrong..but it may be worth a try.

I also could be wrong; but, I'm thinking what Blue just said sounded awful familiar. I just perused through the editor manuals for BHD and DF2 and didn't find anything pertaining to vehicle formations. Perhaps it was the DF2 "unlocked" editor?
Then again I may have just thought it sounded familiar. Anyone else have any ideas?

I only remember that I never used formation either, because it didn't work properly - just may have been that it didn't work for what I was trying to do.
