Making Vehicle Invincible to Damage from EAST

[InfantryChild 10]

Title says it all. I'm not a good scripter. I've been looking for a while now, but can't find anything for this. I want a vehicle to be invincible to damage from EAST, only. I know it's something about handleDamage, but I have no idea how to use it.

Thanks.

Editor init line compatible

this addEventHandler ["HandleDamage", {
_damageold = (_this select 0) getHit (_this select 1);
_damagenew = _this select 2;

if(side group(_this select 3) == opfor) then {
	_damagenew = _damageold;
};

_damagenew
}];

Thank you very much, I dont think this has been answered before, so this will benefit future generations to come!

I had to read that twice ... For a minute I was considering how to apply BIS_fnc_dirTo, relativeDirTo and other radial functions on how to block damage to the player if it comes from the East, but allow from all other directions :)

I read it, and I get it, kinda.. I realize I know nothing about building scripts, as I only work with existing scripts.. but really, this code does nothing when pasted into a unit's INIT. Even running it from a script, or other similar handleDamage scripts seem to do nothing.

If you paste that code into a units INIT, then shoot it as an OPFOR unit, shouldn't it be invincible? Yet, in my game it takes damage just like normal.. This is really frustrating.

I just double checked and it works fine, I simply pasted my code into car's init line and was an opfor unit. Keep in mind that it checks for group side, not unit side. If you will be an OPFOR unit in BLUFOR group damage will apply.
