| leaderGUID | memberGUID |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 2 |
| 1 | 3 |
dist
Maximum distance between group leader and member
Value must be >=0. If the value does not meet the condition the SQL will fail on creature_formations_chk_1.
angle
Angle between leader and member Note: Only degrees are used! Values should be between 0 and 360
Value must be >=0. If the value does not meet the condition the SQL will fail on creature_formations_chk_1.
groupAI
Sets group member behaviors, values are:
| Value | Flag | Name | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | No one assists no one and member doesn't follow the leader | ||
| 1 | 0x001 | GROUP_AI_FLAG_MEMBER_ASSIST_LEADER | The member aggroes if the leader aggroes |
| 2 | 0x002 | GROUP_AI_FLAG_LEADER_ASSIST_MEMBER | The leader aggroes if the member aggroes |

point_1 聽
point_2
These values are used to set leaderGUID pre ending path points for memberGUID's where the path is a straight return path and memberGUID's should not crossover to other side of leaderGUID on direction change.
If your leader has a path like the one below where he moves to point 5 then back to 1 you would set point_1 = 4 and point_2 = 8 on the memberGUID. If the memberGUID is at angle 90 up to point 5 it will switch to angle 270 for the return trip. This is only needed to keep creatures on the correct side. these values can be left at 0 for creatures following directly behind leaderGUID or any creatures in a circular path.
