i have two formations.. one spreads out in a box and the other in a horizontal line. i use horizontal most often. i do it from isboxer using action target groups so any lead can actually order the formation without issues. the mechanic of my formation maybe diff from others. I use walk and strafe to do the line form. i basically have two hotkeys, one toggling walk for just two toons (not affecting the other two and the lead) and the other key to execute the strafe on all toons except lead. who and in what direction they strafe (including who walks) is all determined by the members of my action target groups (atg).
i have 3 atgs if i'm not mistaken: strafeleft, straferight, and walk. strafing (q or e) are actions assigned via a mapped key in my general keymap section. this is the same with walking (/). so i have two mapped keys: lineform and walking. since the atg now has actions defined, i just needed to add/remove members in the atgs based on who's leading. i created 5 new keymaps for every slot. in the keymaps, i defined who joins and who leaves the group and a few other things not related to formation. the memberships will be different for every leader. i assigned the keymaps to specific slots and load when the windows/characters are called to switch (char sets -> slot 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- "do this mapped key" section).
that's the gist. gluck on your formations. i forgot to ask if you're even using isboxer.. oh well it may help someone else if you're not.
