Adjusting Faction Relations During Mission

[FrostOX9 10]

Hey everyone.

I've been trying to find a method to adjust a faction's relations during a mission. Currently, the player is currently a member of the Guerrilla faction. For the purposes of the mission, he needs to be friendly with OPFOR until a specific point in the mission, at which time OPFOR units will begin to react hostilely to the members of the Guerrilla faction. I've checked around on the forums, but haven't seen something that's worked for me yet. I've tried a couple of things so far:

1) Creating a trigger to execute a script that adjusts faction relations via "Resistance setFriend [EAST, 0];". Haven't had much success with that method. The OPFOR AI won't change their demeanor towards the Guerrilla faction and won't fire upon them.

2) Tried setting the player's side to OPFOR, then make them join the Guerrilla side at a certain triggered point. Similar to the above method, the OPFOR AI won't engage the player or the Guerrilla faction members. I'm not sure if this is due to an AI issue or if it's operator-error on my part.

Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You tried Resistance setFriend [EAST, 0] but did you try EAST setFriend [Resistance, 0]

You tried Resistance setFriend [EAST, 0] but did you try EAST setFriend [Resistance, 0]

Yup, I've given both of those a shot and it seems to work, but only on units that have not been placed yet. Any unit that existed before the trigger went off still won't fire on any Resistance members. Any that are placed afterwards (via MCC) will properly engage Resistance members.

hav'nt tested it but, how about

{resistance setFriend [east, 0]} forEach allUnits;
{east setFriend [resistance, 0]} forEach allUnits;

if you want to just make you or a group an enemy by just changing the faction there is an example at the bottom of the side relations page in the wiki https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Side_relations

That doesn't make sense because setFriend applies to sides. This command must be run on server:

if (isServer) then {Independent setFriend [EAST, 0]; EAST setFriend [Independent, 0]};

or in a trigger, make it "server only".
