Make selective units not fire at certain targets?

[rommn 10]

I want to create a mission where the infantry ai would not target above helicopters, but would target enemy units. At the same time, I am trying to make the anti air units target the helicopters, so the setcaptive command won't work in this situation. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

Thank you.

So does anyone have a solution to this?

Fabulous question but no I don't have a solution.

From the lack of responses I'm going to assume that there are no solutions to this issue at the moment.

Sorry if this answer is insufficient, but I don't have time right now, so hopefully it's at least a start.
 

_aiUnit = ...    //however the rifleman is initialized

_aiUnit spawn
{
    while {alive _this} do
    {
        scopeName "unitAliveScope";
        
        {
            if ((side _x != side _this) && {!((typeOf _x) isKindOf "Air")} && {_this distance _x < 200}) then
            {
                _this doTarget _x;
                _this doFire _x;
                waitUntil {sleep 3; !alive _this || {_this distance _x > 200} || {!alive _x}};
                breakTo "unitAliveScope";
            };
        } forEach (_this nearEntities 350);
    };
};

This will make the unit check for enemies in a radius of 350 meters. If it finds one which is not a plane or chopper and is closer than 200 meters, it will start to fire at that very unit until either unit (rifleman or target) dies or the distance is greater than 200m again.

Thanks. I'll try this out when I get the chance.
