Sorry for posting so many questions but I just found this site and I'm having some trouble with a game I'm making. My question is, is there a way to do formations without having to tell each unit were to go but instead tell it how to move with respect with the units around it? For example, to make the units move in a line like a snake, you just have to give each unit a "parent" and make it always move to were its parent was last move. Is there any way to do this for more complicated formations such as the delta formation?
