| Tasking Type: | Option | ||
| For: | Ground Vehicles | ||
| Available Under: | Everything | ||
| Description: | Option that defines the vehicle spacing when in an on road and off road formation.
Behaviors: Note that the feature appears to have some bugs on first release. If the option is set when the group is in any formation other than on road or off road, the AI will use the offroad formation. The ground AI maintaining the spacing also appears to be somewhat random. | ||
| Format: | All options have an option ID and Value. For more information see the article on the AI enumerator.
Option Identifier: 30 Option Values: 0 - 100 | ||
| Enumerators: | Formation Interval = 30 | ||
| Examples: | Group should have a spacing of 50 meters in their formation.
local myGroup = Group.getByName('tanks')
myGroup:getController():setOption(30, 50)

| Notes: | The DCS mission editor limits the max value to 100, it is possible the scripting engine will allow higher values with mixed results.
See article Mission Editor: AI Tasking for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS. | ||
