RTS problem

[supaboy86]

Hey, i'm making a RTS war game and so I have my army of men battling another army. My men were overlapping each other when they walked so I added in a physical property to stop them from overlapping and to add some realness to it. When I did that they started bumping their team mates off the screen. If anyone has a solution to my problem please help.

And oh yeh, the game is a war game played from sky view.

I'd say your troops lack disipline. Make em do more marching drills.

Seriously, I'd say that you have to have them check for room to move before they walk. Explaing how is a little more involved than I have time to get into, but maybe later.

Google game AI, and/or RTS AI, and A* path algorythms. Dont expect it to make much sense.
