Setting formations - Global-Conflicts-ArmA/gc-reforger-missions GitHub Wiki

This page explains how to set the spawn formation of AI groups, this is most important for player groups.

Changing the formation

1. Select the AI group entity.
2. In its components, search for AIFormationComponent.
3. Locate the "Default Formation" field and enter one of the keys listed below.

Note that the formation is formed off the first unit, not the middle unit - so Line will spawn all units to the side of the group leader, while Column will spawn them behind the leader.

This formation will not affect the combat formation of AI, it is dynamic.

Formation Keys

Keys: Wedge Line Column StaggeredColumn

If the component is disabled (or a different, invalid key is entered), characters spawn directly next to each other, basically a line without wasted space inbetween characters. Many mission makers choose this as their player spawn formation.
