Change faction allegience

[Vrae 6]

a simple script to change faction allegiance retaining their waypoints

here it changes AAF to fight for opfor faction if you want them to fight the LDF

 

INDG = allgroups select {faction leader _x == "IND_F"};

{
_groupold = _x;
_groupnew = createGroup east;
(units _groupold) join _groupnew;
_groupnew copyWaypoints _groupold;
} foreach INDG;

 // --------------------------------------------------------------------------

/*

null = [] execVM "INDtoOPFOR.sqf";

*/;

drones work fine,
helicopter behaviour issues - transports don't unload troops as per waypoint

Would this not be better?

If you are using editor place units and not unit spawning in for a mission very simple trick. Place a opfor unit as leader group whatever squad you want to that leader. Now in the leader's attributes set presents zero. Now the entire group is opfor and will attack just like you were using all opfor

units. I've been using this since ARMA 2 to get civilians to fight against opfor blufor or ind.

This doesn't appear to work for me on a dedi server. Changed the allegiances fine, but the waypoints were not copied.
