Group Formations

Tired of all your AI just roaming around alone? Universal Monster allows you to put your AI into Group Formations of many types. You can create large scale military formations or simply have a few AI follow the player as needed. The formations options are extremely customizable and if the formation you wish to create does not exist, just make a suggestion on the UM Discord and if it can be created using math, then it will be added. Since UM utilizes math algorithms to create these formations, they are very efficient and can be created during runtime without any performance issues.
