Ship group spawn - 3/28/2016 4:05:33 AM

Status: offline 		Hi,
I created an event to make 3 ships teleport to a certain area. The problem is they spawn not as a group (respecting their initial formation) but spread along the area. How can I make them spawn as a group/formation?
Thx

Works great for teleporting a group, it keeps its formation, speed and heading, but as you said, three single teleported ships don't keep the initial formation. I, as a lua noob, would use three single AddUnit commands instead of Teleport. But maybe there's a better solution...

I am not allowed to post links yet.

To clarify, lets say you place four single ungrouped ships in a box formation and then teleport all four of them with a single teleport command, each ship will be randomly placed inside the teleport area, they will be no longer in their initial box formation. If you put those four ships into a single group they keep the formation. It bet this all is by design and intended and I'm ok with that, but it would be nice if that random placement of objects within the teleport area would be optional.

Is there any document which explains lua so as to use the addship script?

This document says it's better to use AddUnit, you find this command and the others here:

I did that, but they still spread out. Will try using the lua script that mike recommends. Which is absolutely new ground for me.

They don't spread out when you group them and teleport the group entry and not the single ships of the group. Also try it with the latest Command version.

Here is an an example, unfortunately the f-ing forum software doesn't let me post it as text.

That adds a Burke-class DDG (You find the ID in the DB) to the Blue side, names it Test and puts it in the New York bay area.

The 'Ship group spawn' thread isn't talking about groups? What?

I believe Mike is talking about.
ScenEdit_ImportInst (side, filename)

It is about a group of ungrouped ships and a group of grouped ships and the two different results you get when teleporting them ;)
