Description

Description:
Sets group formation heading. Accepted heading range is 0 to 360. Formation is facing this direction unless enemy is seen. When group is moving, this value is overridden by movement direction. If the new direction is noticeably different from the old direction (approx +/- 15 degrees), units will change positions changing formationDirection.

When applied to AI, setFormDir will set unit formation direction, which in turn will force unit to change direction to match formation direction, however unit will stop turning as soon as unit direction is +/- 30 degrees of the formation direction. To precisely match formation direction, additional setDir is required:
_unit setFormDir 45; _unit setDir 45; hint str direction _unit; //45
