how to make renegades (ENEMY side) use parachute or UAV?

[kovvalsky 13]

Hi all!, I'm doing a DM mission in which players respawn into the air with a parachute.

To avoid Friendly fire, i set the rating of every unit to -3000 to make renegades but then they can't use "Open Parachute" action.

Any Suggestion to fix that?

Maybe with a Custom player action? but I will have the same problem if i try to use UAVs on my mission.

Maybe there is another way to avoid friendly fire? :j:

Thank you! and sorry for my poor english

Cheers!

I'm frustrated, why DM mode has activated Friendly Fire?

I've tried with:

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

and addRating too:

While {True} Do
{
_i = 0;
While {_i < Count AllUnits} Do
	{
	If (Rating (AllUnits Select _i) > -6000) Then
		{
		(AllUnits Select _i) Addrating ((- Rating (AllUnits Select _i)) - 3000); 
		};
	_i = _i + 1;
	Sleep 0.1;
	};
};

both ways works, all units become enemys. but still happening. I can not use the parachute or UAV. I no longer know what can i do..

You can addAction with this code:

player action ["OpenParachute", player];

I have a question related to this too.

How to detect when unit uses some sort of action? For example activate some code when he's ejecting from vehicle.

I placed a paratrooper with init line this addrating -3000 and the open parachute action is not there. Seems like a bug to me. I went into the debug console and put in player action ["openparachute"] and it worked fine. Adding the action yourself seems like the only workaround.

Hello,

i have a simillar question. (I pretty new to the arma scripting.)

I want to create enemy groups which attack all sides (opfor, blufor, and independent) but not eachother!

I'm creating units like this, but i can only create them 4 blufor, obfor, etc...

_group = createGroup <help me!! which side??>;
_unit = _group createUnit ["I_officer_F", _pos, [], 3, "NONE"];

How can i set the units as enemys for all sides without shooting eachother?

Thanks!

yes, i need to know too..

my mission is a DM, with recruit option..

in my init.sqf i put this line to avoid Friendly fire:

WEST setFriend [WEST,0];

and on player Init and player Respawn to make renegades (ENEMY):

player addRating -10000;

in my tests can't do it..

_Soldier = (group player) createUnit ["B_Soldier_F", player modelToWorld [0,4,0],[],0,"FORM"]; 
_Soldier addRating (rating player); 
_Soldier joinAsSilent [(group player),2]
_Soldier disableAI "AUTOTARGET";

i think the path to do that is with FSM..

I tried that before, but the Units will attack eachother...

in my tests can't do it..

_Soldier = (group player) createUnit ["B_Soldier_F", player modelToWorld [0,4,0],[],0,"FORM"]; 
_Soldier addRating (rating player); 
_Soldier joinAsSilent [(group player),2]

i think the path to do that is with FSM..

isn't the line

_Soldier joinAsSilent [(group player),2]

useless? Because you created that unit with the group:

_Soldier = (group player) createUnit ["B_Soldier_F", player modelToWorld [0,4,0],[],0,"FORM"]; 

[kovvalsky 13]

yes, the only solution is

_Soldier disableAI "AUTOTARGET";

and you specify the target with the radio

but in your case you can use Civilians:

Civilian setFriend [WEST,0];
WEST setFriend [Civilian ,0];

Civilian setFriend [EAST,0];
EAST setFriend [Civilian ,0];

...

use addWeapon to the Civs, or addUniform, etc...

Hi thanks for the reply, but i cant use it, because west AI will attack civilian buildings...

thats not very nice :-)

I would like to have spawnable AI's like the ones in SA-Matras-Wasteland.

Noone can help here???

[benargee 20]

Isnt wasteland op vs blu vs ind only?

Also check out https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/doFire. you can even command a blu to kill a blu with this

Isnt wasteland op vs blu vs ind only?

Yes. Why? Whats the point?

Also check out https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/doFire. you can even command a blu to kill a blu with this

But then, i have to check for the nearest player, set to doFire...

Sounds like a dirty workaround.

[HerrVorragend 10]

Is this so hard to program???

[benargee 20]

im asking because what is the purpose of renegades when there are sides already, its not a free for all game. are they a independent hostile faction to everybody?
