I’m trying to make a convoy with 3 different type of ships but every time i try to make them follow a waypoint they automaticly try to get into a row shape even tough i’m using “UseCurrentFormaton” inside “SetHeadSquad”.

I don’t know if i’m making it correctly but i want to make it so the convoy stay together and not seperate .
Is there an easier way or a reason it does not work ?

I’ve never seen anyone get a carrier squadron to follow a route perfectly. Only when they program them to move straight ahead. There are 2 ways to kinda get them to move in a formation.

1.Create your carrier unit and its personal waypoint path. Then copy and past that unit so the new unit gets a copy of that path but adjusted to its new position. This lets you make a good looking formation but it’ll get worse if you make them turn.

  1. Make your carrier unit and its personal waypoints. Place the other units right on top of the carrier, dont copy-paste. Make a move to action per unit that isnt the carrier with a follow offset. When you put in the offset for the unit make sure to move them near that offset. It’ll be in XYZ axis. Ignore Y since they arent flying. Negative X axis is gonna be West and negative Z is gonna be South. Unless im wrong, but just look at the compass to make sure.
