Make russian CIVILIANS enemy with OPFOR

[xezon 0]

So the question is how can I make russian CIVILIANS being enemy with OPFOR?

I tried following:

1. grouping civilian entity with BLUFOR or RESISTANCE leader

2. editing mission.sqm CIV to GUER or WEST

Both do not work. OPFOR will not open fire on civilian asset.

BLUFOR USMC does open fire though.

Any ideas?

Add a bluefor unit to the civil group and make the bluefor unit highest rank. Then set bluefor unit probability of presence to zero. The civils will now have blue map icons and are detected as bluefor.

Yes but OPFOR will not attack them still! I tested these combinations already.

There's a bug in 1.60; MadRussian found it very recently (search this forum). Fixed in the latest beta, IIRC.

So what can I do?

So what can I do?

Try the latest beta? It's very stable & likely to be more or less the 1.61 patch (still some tweaking to do for MP). There have been some nice changes in general; the devs have been working at a phenomenal rate, even for BIS :)

The beta forum has a sticky on installation (pretty automatic, actually, the only big difference is in mod loading so I suggest you use the default beta shortcut & try with the vanilla beta). Alternatively the most recent thread by MadRussian in the Edting forum has some workarounds.

Please post back & let us know how you get on.

Do you have a link for me to that thing? I don't understand what you say because I am new to this. I bought ArmA_X 7 days ago.

Edit: Got it. Thanks.

Great :)

I got it as a present recently, though I haven't had time to explore more then the first couple of missions in the first A1 campaign, & not even opened OFP yet.

Apologies if my post wasn't adequately helpful, I saw the date of your joining the forum & assumed you were an old hand. Post back or PM me if you need any help getting the beta installed.

I made missions for OFP 8 years ago but can't remember shit haha. I haven't played the ArmA missions yet. Mostly stuck in Editor trying to make my first mission. But I am very slow. I installed the latest Beta Patch and will try to run it tomorrow and check what happens with the teaming issue.
