Hello Devs
Is it possible to set up the AI to adopt the route taken cues off the active player ?
I would like the AI to operate freely and adopt the selected generic “close or open order” formation where the ground dictates this is feasible - ie open.
As soon as you plonk in your buildings or the squad crosses some magical line in the battle space that now delineates urban terrain, I would like the squad to adopt the single file formation and follow in trace in accordance with the overarching open or close formation order - so that would just increase the spacing between soldiers in urban terrain.
Some maps will trigger this automatically like Berlin or Stalingrad, other maps may have areas where the squad visibly disperses to provide the player with a visual queue that urban terrain features no longer apply and I have to cross a trench/bunker or some other general terrain feature more cautiously so that my “lemons don’t scatter”
So if I’m following a wall, they all follow me following the wall. If I climb through a window, they all climb through the same window. If I go up a destroyed house in Stalingrad, they all follow exactly in my path.
This would help immensely with not triggering EN bots from spotting me, as well as all the other WTF are my troops moments when you hit the Y key as your point soldier goes down.
I will take the consequences of single file being susceptible to frontal fires at the cost of the increased C2 functionality.
