SobGroup_MoveDirection(<sSobGroupName>, <fRotation>, <Distance>, <iPlayerIndex>)

Description

Here is a script to trigger a sobgroup to move a distance at a angle. Keeping the current spacing between ships.

Example

SobGroup_MoveDirection("sg_Fighter", 90, 3000, 0)

Arguments

<sSobGroupName>: the name of the sobgroup.
<fRotation>: direction to travel in degrees.
<Distance>: distance of travel
<iPlayerIndex>: the index number of the player.

function SobGroup_MoveDirection(Sobgroup, Angle, Distance, Player)
   
   local iNumberMove = SobGroup_SplitGroupReference("sg_Msplit", Sobgroup, Sobgroup, SobGroup_Count(Sobgroup))
    
    if iNumberMove >0 then
        for i = 1, iNumberMove do
            local mov_table = SobGroup_GetPosition("sg_Msplit"..i)
            mov_table[1] = Distance * sin(Angle) + mov_table[1]
            mov_table[3] = Distance * cos(Angle) + mov_table[3]
 
            Volume_AddSphere("vol_move"..li_Gindex, mov_table, 10)
            SobGroup_Move(Player, "sg_Msplit"..i, "vol_move"..li_Gindex)
            li_Gindex = li_Gindex + 1
        end
    end
end

Note needs Apollyon470 SobGroup_SplitGroupReference to work
