How do u set unit formations such as no formation because the units automatically move to a formation

[egg]

you can select a unit and hold control to group it up with other units. then it will follow the orders and formation of the leader unit. BUT unless those units are given waypoints, and those waypoints include formation order>no formation - they will stick to a formation.

hang on im hopping in game to take some screenie of what i mean

hang on - are you talking about this as a the AI following a PLAYER? It seems, or at least I couldn't work it out, that the AI following a player automatically move into a formation once they've run out of waypoints, until you give them orders, either thru waypoints or thru ingame squad commands, to do otherwise that is.

if you give AI, following AI, waypoint orders such as this:

then they will go into a non-formation based, cover-looking for AI mode. then you'll get them doing things such as this, which is what they did from one single MOVE waypoint with the non-formation combat stances and no formation order change.

If you read the descriptions in way-point interface while you hover your mouse over the various combat modes and such, it will explain if they use formations or not.. Hope that helps man.
