Use ALICE to spawn BLUFOR or OPFOR?

[tpw 2315]

I've been having a reasonable amount of success lately using custom city centers and ALICE/SYLVIE to spawn civilians and vehicles on islands that don't normally support this.

Even better, by messing around with the demography settings of each city center I can get ALICE to spawn mixtures of civilians

this setVariable ["demography", ["CIV_LGR",0,"CIV",0]];

This would spawn Chernorussian and Icebreakr's Lingorians.

Does anyone know if it's possible to force ALICE to spawn OPFOR or BLUFOR units by adding an appropriate entry into the demography? And if so, what would that entry be? Let's say I want to spawn BAF units in a given town, what would I need to use? "BAF",0 ???

And yes, I know I can use UPS or DAC to spawn OPFOR/BLUFOR, but I'm interested in spawning them as non combatants (eg on leave in a town) and wandering around aimlessly like civs.

Thanks in advance!

maybe this thread might shed some light on this for you.

but i suspect you need this one, if this is at all possible with non civs.

Thanks mate. It was worth a try but all it does is throw all sorts of ALICE errors if I put

this setVariable ["demography", ["BIS_BAF_MTP"],0];

Interestingly, it throws the same errors if I put

this setVariable ["demography", ["RANDOMTEXT"],0];

So, it's hard to tell if it doesn't work because I'm passing it the wrong faction name, or because it just doesn't work with non civs.

I'll keep plugging away, you never know I might trip over something.

EDIT: I tried the various factions as listed on this page http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/faction, no joy. I guess it won't work.
