Regiment Trigger

Ive seen in an Warhammer map they made an regiment system so you had a circle of power and there were troops in a square around it like this:

where every O is an footman, for example, and the 2 represents 1 Circle of power.
Now these footmens followed that Circle and lined up like that when moved.

Anyone knows how to do this?

HI,
after reading your post I got inspired, but I don't know what you mean exactly, so here is my idea:
Perhaps it's very easy with just using the command "point with offset":

You create a variable (var) , a point var, and then you set this var to the center of the corresponding unit (in this case the circle of power).
Finally you make your footmen move with the corresponding unit to the var offset by (-50/-50)
for example for 1 of the footmen.

Yeah I thought I would be something like that but can anywone show an trigger with like 4 footmens around an circle or something so my mind can get started working ;P
I'm a bit tired today.

Also, It cant be easy to make them that linear can it?

Here's how you could do it:

First a trigger that creates the units around it, assigns them to a variable and places them in position using a polar offset.
That will be a bit tricker, but I'll try something out and post later...
