    At the bottom right of the vanilla UI there are the buttons for PiP, Chronocam, friends bar and the clock.

    But what is that squiggly line one for?
    I'm thinking it's for Roam/Maneuver but I could just be thinking of move commands for TA..

    Making custom formations.

    You select units, draw a line, and the units make a formation according to that line.

    There probably should be to be honest. I suspect this is something Uber will work on doing nearer release. Meantime Brian's usually pretty good at churning out tutorials ;)

    Ah i actually started a thread on this earlier. Someone did explain there how to use this thing... Basically you use the right click to first draw a line then click again to show which direction to face.

    The only problem i have with it is that it should be repositionable so you could maybe drag the formation target to update it rather than having to right click carefully twice again.

    It also seems hugely buggy, so theres also that.
