Make Ai squad invincible

[Phantom_Fuzz 1]

Is there any way I can make my Ai Squadron invincible through the in-game command console?

[POLPOX 778]

Use allowDamage command.

Are you referring to the bar at the bottom of the screen when your commanding your AI?

Or the debug menu when you press escape?

 

In general i would agree with POLPOX, but you can also edit each of your AI units special states and disable damage

in the editor for your mission or add   this allowdamage false;   to each one of the init box's of the AI in your command.

  Is that about what your after?

You can paste this into the debug console,

{_x allowDamage false} forEach units group player;

or
Paste this into the init properties field of any unit in the group,

{_x allowDamage false} forEach units group this;

Have fun!

Yes I am talking about the debug console, sorry for not clarifying. I'd like to be able to do it in-game since i'm doing gamemodes that i didn't make or edit.

Thank you very much! I'll try this out and tell you if it worked

(Edit) It worked, thank all of you for the help.

I know this topic is a bit old but what command would I need to use to make my sqaud invincible but not the player?

[sarogahtyp 1108]

Init field:

 

{ if !( isPlayer _x ) then { _x allowDamage false; }; } forEach units group this;

 

Or debug console:

 

{ if !( isPlayer _x ) then { _x allowDamage false; }; } forEach units group player;

[rainbow47 20]

Somehow these are giving me errors.

[sarogahtyp 1108]

Don't get toooooo specific...

[rainbow47 20]

I receive the following error:

 

Error invalid numer in expression

[sarogahtyp 1108]

try to write the whole thing manually instead of using copy and paste

[rainbow47 20]

Unfortunately still getting the same errror. Not sure what i am doing wrong.

That above code is gonna work 100% the time unless you're somehow typing it wrong. At this point you'd have to post a pic or video of you typing that and showing the error to get any help

This was a weird one, took me a long time to figure out what was going on. First I tried retyping everything, which worked. Then I tried focusing on "_x allowDamage false" because that's where the error is happening. I went letter by letter and replaced every one, still getting the error. Then I noticed that if you are navigating the text via arrow keys, once you get to "e" in allowDamage, then you have to hit the arrow 3 times before the cursor advances to the space. Interesting...by default I "show all symbols" in notepad++ but I don't see any control characters...Finally the answer came to me. I changed the encoding to ANSI:

{ if !( isPlayer _x ) then { _x allowDamage false; }; } forEach units group this;

So the short answer is retyping everything would have worked, or just retyping the contents of the Then code block, even more specifically just highlighting the "e[space]" in allowDamage false and retyping "e[space]"

 

There is a long answer, but we really don't want to go into it, trust me. So the even shorter answer: Encoding is a bitch

Any time you copy code from this forum, re-paste it into a code block to check for corrupt characters:

 

Delete any red dots, re-copy, and you're done.

@rainbow47 there was a reason for this:

My first approach to use my own script 😂
