What code are you using to create the Wingman objects (show how the parameter values are created as well).

How to get objects to fly in formation

Here is the creation of the wingmen:
Also, FYI, the "me" variable is simply the object that is linked to the SquadronLeader. What I am trying to do is pretty much make the SquadronLeader and Wingman be controllers, and then simply associate an uncontrolled fighter with them.
public void FighterFlight(Fighters obj)
{
int i=0;
int x=0;
while(getWorld().getObjects(Fighters.class).size()>i)
{
Fighters f = (Fighters) getWorld().getObjects(Fighters.class).get(i);
if(i==0&&AllSquadronsFull())
{
getWorld().addObject(new SquadronLeader(f),f.getX(),f.getY());
}else if (i>0 && f.isFollower() == false)
{
getWorld().addObject(new Wingman(f,(Ships) ((SquadronLeader)getWorld().getObjects(SquadronLeader.class).get(0)).me),f.getX(),f.getY());
f.setFollower(true);
}
i++;
}
}lol... I at first was going to say why I needed them to be linked, but then I realized just how overly complicated my response was. How would you suggest I implement this?
You could have each SquadronLeader keep an array of its assigned Wingman objects:
With the code above, you should be able to create individual squadrons; you will have to adjust the way the 'id' field is assigned its value in the Wingman class, however (removing the static counter and adding the 'setID' method). Also, the Wingman class act method should be renamed and the squadron leader should call the new named method on all of its wingmen when it acts.
private static final int maxWingmen = 4; // change as needed
private Wingman[] wingmen = new Wingman[maxWingmen];
private int wingmanCount;
public boolean addWingman(Wingman wingman)
{
if (wingmanCount == maxWingmen) return false;
wingmen[wingmanCount] = wingman;
wingman.setID(wingmanCount);
wingmanCount++;
return true;
