How to set formation change at arrival at waypoint?

Post by Solaristics »

I want a company to be in march formation until they reach the waypoint then switch to line. Is there a way to do this without having to make an intermediate waypoint just before the final waypoint that is set to line?

Waypoint editor, ctrl+ right click on the waypoint and adjust to your liking.

Thanks, but what I mean is this:

- At set up, I have a company in march formation at point of origin and I want it to march to a waypoint in march formation but change to line formation when it reaches the waypoint.
- If I change that way point to line formation, then it immediately changes to line formation at the point of origin.
- Only way I can see to do it is to set an intermediate waypoint just near the final waypoint and set the formation of the intermediate to march and then I can set the final to line.

My question is whether there is an easier way of doing this.

Ok, Your talking about the end state. I set another waypoint using the defend order and pick line, so they will set a line orientated to your set defend waypoint.

You can add a Rotate waypoint and set it to use the formation you want.
