Changing Sides Not Working

[skylez 10]

I have read several posts about a unit changing sides.

I've tired typing this in the INT box on the unit and on the activation of a trigger.

CIVILIAN setfriend [EAST, 0];

EAST setFriend [CIVILIAN, 0];

I've gone in the SQM and located the Civilian and changed. side="GUER";

I don't understand SQF stuff or even how to make one. What I really want to do is make a Co-Op mission for my son and I to play as Civilians trying to escape the East.

Maybe have the EAST attack us two and leave the other civilians alone.

Can someone explain this to me in a way that a noob can understand it?

Thanks, Skylez
