Formation Help Please...yes, I've read the wiki and FTL page...

[knopstr]

Prior to FTL I had formations working well. I switched to FTL and haven't looked back...but I haven't instanced with these girls yet and as such never bothered to set up formations...lol...I just stand and pew pew and everything dies. Now, I'm looking to instance and need to be able to spread them out in a line and create a diamond and such. I haven't been too successful in creating these using the FTL system.

Would someone who has created formations using FTL please provide a code snippet for say 2 toons akin to the following; taken directly from the link. I'm not in love with losing the arrow keys as it prevents me from being able to nudge forward or turn.

ToonA: ‘f’ ---> line.ToonA.is.leader
‘LEFT’ ---> line.ToonB.is.leader
‘shift+LEFT’---> line.ToonC.is.leader
‘RIGHT’ ---> line.ToonD.is.leader
‘shift+RIGHT’---> line.ToonE.is.leader
‘shift+f’ ---> line.setWalk.CD.leader.A
‘alt+p’ ---> line.setWalk.AD.leader.C
‘ctrl+p’ ---> line.setWalk.AC.leader.D

ToonB:
‘LEFT’---> line.ToonA.is.leader
‘f’ ---> line.ToonB.is.leader
‘shift+LEFT’---> line.ToonC.is.leader
‘alt+LEFT’---> line.ToonD.is.leader
‘ctrl+LEFT’---> line.ToonE.is.leader
‘shift+f’ ---> line.setWalk.CD.leader.B

So the only way I see this happening is if you come up with someway of dynamically making keybindings. Not sure how you are going to go about that but it sounds like a lot of work.

If it was me I would just setup a couple formations you are happy with through keybindings in game. If your toons are in a line does it really matter if your main is on the outside or on the inside?

I could see this working with some scripting language out of game but I don't think ingame macros will allow it. As far as I know there is no

WalkForward()/StrafeLeft() command or script.

Here's one I did, and still use today:
