roguetrooper 2 Posted January 20, 2013 When you shoot a regular infantry rifle bullet (not penetrating) even at armored vehicles (own side crew inside), your rating drops instantly to "very hostile" and friendly AI starts shooting at you. It's ok to become an outlaw by destroying own troops/vehicles. But becoming an outlaw by hitting a friendly Abrams with a single bullet in the heat of the battle seems to be very exaggerated. Sure you can bypass this issue by scripting, but it rather should be fixed by a patch. Put a tank of the player's side onto the map, put oneachframe { hintsilent str rating player }; into its initline and shoot e.g. with a M4 at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5133p39 16 Posted January 21, 2013 Which version/beta of ArmA2 OA are you using? In my OA 1.62.99515 its not possible to replicate this problem. I think you must be using some MOD(s) that changes something either in M4 or M1A1 configs to make this possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slatts 1978 Posted January 21, 2013 I can safely say I've never had this problem..is there any more info that could help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5133p39 16 Posted January 21, 2013 Tested with the latest OA beta 100296 and still can't replicate, must be some addons causing this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguetrooper 2 Posted January 21, 2013 I don't use any mods and I never have (at least not since the latest installment of Windows/Arma). Latest beta + BAF + PMC + ACR. I have a group of BAF grenadiers, all made resistance sided by joining them to a non present resistance unit with the highest rank. Resistance is friendly to nobody. When I shoot at a woodland FV510 Warrior (BAF) with my groupmates being inside, I get a bad rating. Just noticed that on a fresh and plain testing map that this problem does not occur. The map where it happens (editor preview) has the same side/group/unit setup. :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5133p39 16 Posted January 21, 2013 Well, that's a completely different situation - in first post you were talking about Abrams being hit by a bullet from M4, and that's exactly what i tried. Can't do it right now, but i'll test it again later this evening with the FV510. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguetrooper 2 Posted January 21, 2013 I've tried it with many armored and unarmored vehicles after I've noticed that in the map I am currently working on shooting with a rifle at an armored vehicle (Warrior) causes rating problems. And I wouldn't say that there is such a great difference between an Abrams and a FV510 concerning a single bullet shot. The Abrams was just an example for something (with groupmates inside) that a rifle bullet hit should have no effect on. As I said, in a new plain test map for examining that problem it did not occur although there are the same circumstances (resistance hostile to eveeryone, BAF resistance group, with groupmembers inside vehicle). Can't explains what's going on. I just can say for sure that in the problem-map there are no user-made circumstances that might artificially cause that behaviour.

5133p39 16 Posted January 21, 2013 I am confused... is it happening to all your vehicles then, or just the FV510? Anyway, if it does happen when you are shooting M4 bullets at Abrams, then it is deffinitely something wrong with your game and your game ONLY, whether it's addons or scripts, it's not in the vanilla game. ...on second thought, could this be the FADE (or whatever is the proper name) ? Anyway, i guess thats not allowed to discuss here, so lets not :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
das attorney 858 Posted January 21, 2013 Just tried it - rating stays at 0. Could you upload a test mission for someone to check? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
