Tank speed..

[Pigeons]

There's no way to make it go slow enough to where you can actually run behind it and use it as cover and enter towns like that?

Limited speed is still way too fast for players.. theres gotta be a way to set its speed.. right?


Also.. whats a script or command that will make my guys stay in tight formation?

like to make sure they are within a certain amount of feet of the tank, or each other.. etc.. ?

Try making the tank a member of a small infantry group, and set formation to Vee.    The second infantry group can be ordered to doFollow the tank.

Alternatively, give the tank lots of waypoints, at which it will pause.    And/or synchro these waypoints with infantry waypoints.

The way to script it is to use doMove and distance commands.   There may be one on the Ed Depot.   If not, download my mission Regina Proeliorum [(currently in the beta testing forum), un-pbo it and look at the script called Shilka1.sqs.    Essentially, this does exactly what you want, though you will have to tweak it a bit.    Borrow anything you like, just include my name in your acknowledgements.
