All out war

Hi, I am making a promotional fps game for my rts game, and I wanted to know how I can make 2 armies rush eachother. Also, the men would start in a formation. Is this possible through script. If so can someone point me to a resourse? Thanks.

Hi Krystian,
Check out Kenneth Finney's two "3D Game Programming All In One" books. The second "Advanced" one has a good section on AI behavior and swarming that's script-only.

Good luck!

Thanks, I actually own the second edition of this book, are these scripts included in there?

In the copy I have, it's Chapter 9, Group Behaviors. I think that's what you're looking for.

Edit: Whup, sorry! That's Advanced 3D Game Programming All In One, the follow-up to the one I listed above. IMHO, Advanced is the far more useful of the two books.
