'Unspottable' units

[epicgoldenwarrior 11]

I want to have a few snipers in a mission who cannot be spotted by the map, cause that just kills the realism.

"enemy 6 o'clock bearing 047" when you cant even see the sniper.

Then they put waypoint down, find him, kill him.

Which leaves the gillie suit to 0 reason to use.

So, anyone know how I could do that?

Change the difficulty

Uh, other than that obviously *-* thx for input

[cuel 25]

Afaik that's your only option

try it with

this setCaptive true

they will not be engaged and when i remember correct also not spotted

i made a script years ago - via an add action - make the sniper friendly to AI for around 20 seconds - then you would have to wait a few minutes before you could run the addaction again. Also if you stood up during that 20 seconds the script would cancel and you would become enemy to AI again.

Have you tried setting camouflage to 0 (zero) on the snipers? Supposed to make them invisible to AI unless they fire.

Seemed to work fairly reliably in A2/CO with mods like "Infantry stealth and Recognition".

No idea if the v1.40 skill setting bug affects camouflage as well; I'm sticking with 1.38 for now.

Wanted it for pvp scenario, not sure if camo correlates to only AI.

and, I never even knew there was a command such as camo. Cool!

That's a config entry? not a command. If it's a pvp then using setCaptive as Moerder suggested might help, but bear in mind that that'll make the snipers civilian

If this is PvP, set the difficulty to Veteran (as Cuel already stated), and use the following in the init.sqf to make the random radio spotting notifications go away:

Yea quick mistake, rlly not a huge deal in this thread since I understood what you meant anyway.

I havent actually made the mission yet, but will check it out Jshock.

I'm gonna call this thread to an end since the points have been hit.
