AI Skill Script only affecting certain Faction

[palokan 10]

Hey Guys, i wrote a script to set the AI on the whole server every 10 seconds to certain Values according to the Side it is on for a modded "KP Liberation" Mission. This worked perfectly. But i wanted to change the script for the East Side to better reflect the skill of certain factions.

 

the original script was: 

while {true} do
{

{

_x setSkill 0.6;

_x setSkill ["aimingAccuracy", 0.2];

_x setSkill ["aimingShake", 0.7];

_x setSkill ["aimingSpeed", 0.7];

_x setSkill ["Endurance",0.5];

_x setSkill ["spotDistance",0.6];

_x setSkill ["spotTime",0.8];

_x setSkill ["courage", 0.8];

_x setSkill ["reloadSpeed", 1];

_x setSkill ["commanding", 0.7];

} forEach (allUnits select {side _x == east});

sleep 10;

};

this worked exactly as i intended. (is exec. via init.sqf and sets the skills from mission start every 10 seconds so that it includes every spawned unit, even if called by Zeus or any other special way. works great)
but now i wanted to change 

 

} forEach (allUnits select {side _x == east});

 

to something that affects only a certain faction like

 

} forEach (allUnits select {faction _x == LOP_TKA});

 

this line however doesn't work and i can't find any answer how to only call a script on a certain faction, so i was hoping someone in this forum could help me :)

EDIT: I am an idiot. All i was missing was putting the Faction name into " " to make my scripts work haha. great, now i have differently skilled Middle Eastern Militia, ISIS Soldiers and Russian Elite soldiers to fight <3 

Thread can be closed :)

Why do you set skill every 10 seconds? skill is something persistent.

Hijacking this old thread because the topic about setting skill in a loop is relevant for my mission.

 

I was thinking about doing this for my zeus mission aswell and i would guess settings this in a loop will also affect the new zeus placed units. Because if this run only once it wont affect the new units placed later right?

[pierremgi 4737]

right.

You need to set skill for the spawned unit. Not familiar with zeus scripted but you have a module "set attributes - objects" with several options.

@pierremgi I noticed his using this code

forEach (allUnits select {side _x == east});

What's the different from using

forEach (allUnits select {side _x isEqualTo east});

Which one should i use?

@Robustcolor

There's a couple subtle differences between == and isEqualTo but in this case it won't matter.

Have fun!

Thanks @wogz187

Is it possible to change this code to select all ai's and exclude players?

forEach (allUnits select {side _x isEqualTo east});

 

[pierremgi 4737]

forEach (allUnits select {!isPlayer _x});
