Change player side

[SniPeZz_Qc 10]

Hi I want to make a mod (US Marines vs infected) when a infected kill a marine the marine (bluefor) auto change side to infected (civilian).

I know it was possible 9 months ago but I think bohemia as remove this option..

Did someone have a idea ?

Thanks you

First thing that comes to my mind is, you may create a unit of the respective other side, use selectPlayer on that unit - so the player becomes that unit - and then delete the old unit.

Yah that seems a good idea but if I do that I have to make more infected slot (civ) and when the player will join they will go infected (my game mode have to have only 1 infected at the start). I can make a condition that it will end mission for the client with a message that the infected is selected randomnly from the bluefor before the start.

Sorry for my english english is not my first language.

to switch a player from friendly side to enemy side you can set them to join an enemy group

e.g.

// If friendly side is west
_enemyGroup = createGroup east;
player joinSilent _enemyGroup; // Joins player to enemy group

I have try that but i have this error:

private ["_enemyGroup"];

_enemyGroup = createGroup civilian;

switch (playerSide) do
{
case civilian:
{

};
case independent:
{
	player joinSilent _enemyGroup;
};
};

Needs to be:

private ["_enemyGroup"];

_enemyGroup = createGroup civilian;

switch (playerSide) do
{
case civilian:
{

};
case independent:
{
	[player] joinSilent _enemyGroup;//<<Player must be in [ ]
};
};

Thank you, now I don't have any error but did is exist a way to change the team and to join de civilian side when you are independent without staying in the independent team ?

I think the way it has been exampled above is the only way (at least that I can think of), and a switch in this case is overkill a simple:

_newGroup = createGroup CIVILIAN;

if (playerSide isEqualTo INDEPENDENT) then
{
[player] joinSilent _newGroup;
};

Ok thank you boy it's very apreciate.

Thanks for the ideas, I'm inserting in my mission, at the menu, the possibility to switch sides and respawn! Very good thanks!
