Hey guys, I was wandering what this lines in the odf of an starfighter means:

Code: Select all

SquadronFormation
Any ideas?

I personally believe the Devs tried to make Starfighters fly in formations. However many other people, including myself, have tried to get it to work to no avail. I believe the code is either broken, incomplete, or just removed and they didn't bother removing the ODF lines pertaining to Formations.

There might be a workaround that this really smart guy I know can do, but we'll see.

My two cents.

One could create flyer splines that are parallel with each other and give some of the nodes properties to switch between the flyer spline paths that the flyers would follow, though this would only sometimes create the illusion of the A.I. flying in squadrons.

In eggman's aldurda series the fighters flew in a pretty orderly fashion. I don't know how he did it through. I think this is worth looking into. (Scurries to BF2_ModTools).

Probably flyer splines.

Yeah. I couldn't find anything. I guess you can just flyer splines to create the desired effect.

Yeah I remember that there was something special in the aldurda space mission. I really wish we could figure out how to fix it!
