Determine What side vehicle the player is in?

[Kolmain 6]

I need to detect if the player is in a civilian vehicle? Any ideas?

cfgVehicles will give you the answer, but i dont have it on hand.

But if west player is in control of civilian vehicle i think side vehicle will give west when you use (side (vehicle player)) maybe youre lucky and it doesnt.

Nope, vehicles are the side of the commander :( anyone know how to use CfgVehicles?

Not sure how you might implement this is your case but maybe _veh setvariable ["side","CIV"]; ... and then do the check.

this works:

_side = west;
_classname = typeOf (vehicle player);
_sv = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _classname >> "Side");
switch (_sv) do {
case 0: {_side = east};
case 1: {_side = west};
case 2: {_side = resistance};
case 3: {_side = civilian};
};
hint format ["side of vehicle is %1",_side];
