Switch players side from a trigger

[Mattmad1234 3]

Hi all! 

I am working on a small missions for some friends and I would like to setup a trigger system. Basically when a player enters a specific trigger on the map, their side changes from CIV, to either OPFOR or BLUFOR, depending on which trigger they enter. Then when the trigger deactivates they are set back to CIV. Is something like this possible?? If so I would appreciate any help I could get!!

 

Thanks!

Check out this topic from the other day, Change player side with AddAction, it's basically the same thing but you want a trigger instead of an action.

So we understand,
1) Player chooses side by entering trigger zone
2) When leaving same trigger zone player returns to civilian

Is this correct?

That is correct! Ill take a look as the post u sent as well!

Thanks for the reply

Use the trigger (or marker) for its area only (it's simpler).

Say trigWEST or "markerWest", trigEAST....

 

0 = [] spawn {
  while {true} do {
    {
      call {
        if (_x inArea trigWEST) exitWith {
          if (side (_x getVariable ["actualGrp",grpNull]) != WEST) then {_x setVariable ["actualGrp", createGroup WEST]};
        };
        if (_x inArea trigEAST) exitWith {
          if (side (_x getVariable ["actualGrp",grpNull]) != EAST) then {_x setVariable ["actualGrp", createGroup EAST]};
        };
        if (side (_x getVariable ["actualGrp",grpNull]) != CIVILIAN) exitWith {
          _x setVariable ["actualGrp", createGroup CIVILIAN];
        };
      };
      if (side _x != side (_x getVariable "actualGrp")) then {
        _oldGrp = group _x;
        [_x] joinSilent (_x getVariable "actualGrp");
        if (count units _oldgrp == 0) then {deleteGroup _oldGrp};
      };
    } forEach allPlayers;
    sleep 2;
  };
};
