What formation for "Transport" ground object

[+quack74 329]

If I have a ground object set as TRANSPORT in it's data.ini, what would its' formation parameter be called in the FORMATIONS.ini? Do TRANSPORT objects have their own formation call out? I know trucks and tanks use TANK and Infantry use MobileAD. Just not sure about TRANSPORT.

yes, transports (and cargo ships) have their own formations, as listed in the Formations.ini

[FormationType009]

Name=TruckConvoy

FormationType=GROUND

BaseLevel=1

Level[01].Name=Convoy

Level[01].Size=32

Level[01].Formation[01]=ConvoyLine

 

 

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

[FormationType010]

Name=ShipConvoy

FormationType=NAVAL

BaseLevel=1

Level[01].Name=Convoy

Level[01].Size=12

Level[01].Formation[01]=ConvoyDouble

 

 

 

I think this bit, is the spacing and such

haven't messed with it much (ok, at all)

Do you happen to know where the formation data for naval task forces is kept? I'd like to take a look at it, but I don't see any mention of it in the formations.ini file.

formations ini, afaik (that where I got the truck stuff above)
