Spring RTS Engine

I didnt mean random, random is suboptimal in many ways, especially in units crossing paths. I meant that it should try to keep an even distribution of unit types along the formation line.

If it's going to stay semirandom for performance reasons... I agree with beherith on this. It should at least sort the units so they have an equal type distribution along the line. That's really not expensive to do.

Would it be possible to tell units which direction to face once they have reached their final destination?

For example, if I had a load of Penetrators and I drew a wavy line for them to form in, I'd want them to all face at a certain direction that I think targets are going to come from.

So something like a direction arrow you can rotate as well as holding right click to draw the line.
