Tables

Tables are sections that have related data attached to them.
In general, they are referenced as Lua tables.
Like wrappers, the content of these may be modified either directly (object.field) or by some ScenEdit_Setxxx( {..field=....} ) function.

Formation

This contains the information related to keeping units of a group in formation.
There are several predefined formation settings located in 'Resources\Formation\StandardFormations.txt'. These can be used to set a group's base formation stations.
Indivdual units in the formation can have their station changed.

The field values for a selected unit are "bearing", "type", "distance", "sprint"
The field values for a selected group are "name", "spacing", "spacing_unit", "bearing", "transpose"

Fields

For setting a unit's station in the current formation

FieldTypeDescriptionComments
type valuefixed = 0
rotating = 1 		Type of bearing
bearing number Bearing from formation lead (0-360)
distance number Distance (NM) from formation lead
sprint True/False Use 'sprint and drift' mode while on formation station
transpose True Unit jumps to the new stations immediately

For setting a group's formation and underlying unit stations

FieldTypeDescriptionComments
name string Formation name The name from the formation setting file
spacing number Base distance (m) from formation lead Used to determine stations of group units
spacing_unit string Multipler to the spacing if required. Used to determine stations of group units
Optional
bearing number Desired bearing of formation lead (0-360) Uses the group lead's current heading if not used
transpose True Units jump to the new stations immediately

The formation name can also contain your own formation settings to initally set up the group's formation.
The name starts with "Custom:" followed by a string in the format designated in the 'Resources\Formation\StandardFormations.txt' file.
Look at this file to get a feeling of these fields and how they are used,
The character '\t' is used in the Lua string to represent tabs which is needed to separate the fields in the line.
For example: Custom:\t0\t2\t1\t135\t1\t1\t225\t1

Example
local g = ScenEdit_GetUnit( {name='CVN BG', guid='9506a165-6e44-40dd-b721-f9c07e056bdb'})
print (g.group.unitlist ) -- list of units in the group
local u_gid = g.group.unitlist[6] -- changing station of 6th unit in the group
local u = ScenEdit_GetUnit( {guid=u_gid})
print(u.formation) -- before update
