Grouping models (Array?)

I'm making a RTS (real-time strategy) game, and I have it setup so you command small fleets of star fighters. How would I go about grouping a lot of fighters together so they move as one and such? Like a model array or something...if one exists.

1. create empty Scene Node by addEmptySceneNode
2. add any Scene Node setting parent = emptySceneNode created on 1
enjoy

Could you be more specific? My game crashes when I try to move the node.
Here's how I'm trying to do it...
Code: Select all
scene::ISceneNode* parent = 0;
sm->addEmptySceneNode(parent);
model->setParent(parent);
parent->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));
[/code]

I think it is
Code: Select all
scene::ISceneNode* parent = sm->addEmptySceneNode();
model->setParent(parent);
parent->setPosition(core::vector3df(0,0,0));

That's just the same
.
I would personally use parent->addChild() (seems more logical to me).

addChild crashes too.
(parent->addChild(child node)?)
