Issue with sideEnemy?

[BEAKSBY 11]

Has anyone had issues with sideEnemy before?

I'm running the following in my initServer.sqf

_handle = _x addEventHandler [ "Killed", { 

             _unit = _this select 0; 
             _killer = _this select 1; 
             _handle = _unit getVariable [ "DNA_EH_Killed_Money", -1 ]; 


      	if ((side group _killer != side group _unit) && (side group _killer != sideEnemy)) then {
hint format ["side group _killer: %1 \n side group _unit: %2", side group _killer, side group _unit];
{...more code}
};

...and when a player kills a friendly on the map he turns purple, yet the hint

side group _killer

still diplays he is still on his original side, and the code after the if statement is also executed as if the condition was TRUE?

I thought it would display as "renegade" or "enemy"?

How then do I ensure that if a player kills one of his own the following is FALSE?

((side group _killer != side group _unit) && (side group _killer != sideEnemy))

(side _killer != sideEnemy)

?

maybe even

!(side _killer isEqualTo sideEnemy)

Not sure about sideEnemy, maybe that one is a bit outdated.

Try checking "rating" against -2000 instead.

Alternately if you're not just looking for renegades, you can use this to check if someone is hostile:

_unit countEnemy [_killer] > 0;

I'd guess your code is executed before the actual side change... side _unit returns ENEMY pretty reliable if the rating is in big negative

(side _killer != sideEnemy)

?

I went with this one and it works.

To DarkWanderer's point

I'd guess your code is executed before the actual side change...

I think this is no longer true, as the addEventHandler "Killed" respects the if condition in my code now that I replaced it with side _killer != sideEnemy.

Thanks again everyone
