Dynamic Formation

[Vociferate]

Your toons belong to a particular action target group (ATG). In Ualaa's example he called the ATGs A, B, C, D, or E. I'll keep the same naming.

Thank you, like I stated earlier, I have created these groups. A-E based the same off of Ualaa's guide.

I have a keymap under "Control" that is called "Slot 1 is Leader". Every time I switch to this slot (by clicking on my window that has the first toon in it which causes it to be the "big" main window), this key map is activated. All this keymap does is assign my different toons to the different ATGs. First, all toons leave whatever ATG (A, B, C, D, or E) they're in so they can be reassigned into a new ATG.
The toon in slot 1 goes to ATG A
The toon in slot 2 goes to ATG B
The toon in slot 3 goes to ATG C
The toon in slot 4 goes to ATG D
The toon in slot 5 goes to ATG E

This is where I am having my complications. How do I designate Slot 'X' as leader? I understand how they move from one ATG to the other based off of the current window being the main. But I don't know how to set this part up.

Can you explain step by step how to designate one to a leader?

Similarly, I have a keymap called "Slot 2 is Leader". When Slot 2 is activated (by clicking on the window) the toons leave their ATG and join a new ATG.
Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 3, Slot 4, Slot 5 all leave all ATGs A, B, C, D, and E
The toon in slot 1 goes to ATG E
The toon in slot 2 goes to ATG A
The toon in slot 3 goes to ATG B
The toon in slot 4 goes to ATG C
The toon in slot 5 goes to ATG D

Same as above.

Now I have a "Spread Out" keymap. All this does is tell whoever is in ATG A to not move, ATG B to move to the left, ATG C to move back and to the left, etc. Since my toons have been assigned to different ATGs depending on who is leader, they now move the way they're supposed to, causing a dynamic formation.

I believe I have done this one already, by setting the movement keys to the numpad 0.

Again, Ualaa's steps are perfect, but you have to be comfortable with ATGs.

That one I am working on.


And thank you for the help, it is greatly appreciated.
