Start Battle From The Right of my Army

[Locksher]

Hi, I was wondering, is it possible to mod my game,
so that my character's starting position in battle is on the right of the army,
instead of starting from the left side?

are you using motomataru's formation script? i don't think this is a thing in native?

Nope. I'll look it up, if that's your suggestion. Do you recommend?

if you want to use formations in your mod, yes. you can also save/memorize the division positions there.

It is likely that the thing you are asking about is hardcoded into the game. With the sheer exception of pre-made ones, all battleground scenes (at least in Native) have this flag: sf_auto_entry_points. It governs the layout of Entry Points, which perhaps are ordered and put from one cardinal direction to another (from a player's view). A human agent might be assigned the first Entry Point, thereby making him or her start from, for instance, left. I have not ever worked with positions, so I will not tell, but it might be possible to make a special script. It will assign one Entry Point to a player and then place it on the terrain in a given position, bearing in memory the layout of other Entry Points. I have no clue whether it is possible, but if it is, then writing such code might prove to be a waste of time, given a possible gain.
