flight Formation?
« on: April 13, 2009, 08:28:09 PM »
quick question, trying to make an ST: BC vid, want to show ships flying in formation instead of all over the place when you order your fleet to follow you. Is there a way to do this or a mod to allow it?

The easiest way, for now, is to either model the ships you want in a formation. There are ways through scripting, but it really takes a while with AttachObject and SetTranslateXYZ.

I've never been able to grasp modelling or scripting, maybe I could do some chroma key, might take a while but I have patience lol
