ACE BFT disable for specific group

[Cockheaven 21]

Hi guys, I'm trying to disable BFT via a script for a group of players during a mission. The Idea is these players crash land somewhere and must escape or radio for extract, to improve the experience I don't want them to know exactly where they are on the map. I haven't busted into the PBO yet, but I've been searching here and the ACE wiki for information on this function. I know I can disable BFT in the editor, but I want it triggered during the mission. Thanks!

Looking through fnc_blueForceTrackingUpdate.sqf, it seems that ACE Blufor Tracking is completely global. There might be a way to brute force your way around it, for example deleting markers as they are created, though that's probably not performative in the least.

try

 

for individual unit

_unit setVariable ["ace_map_hideBlueForceMarker", true, true];

for group

{ _x setVariable ["ace_map_hideBlueForceMarker", true, true]; } forEach (units _group);

I tried this by placing in the units init section and it is still visible on BFT any suggestions? Oh and this was "same side" Zeus (not an OPFOR)

Thank you in advance

I was also unable to get this to work via scripting. I had to ultimately result to checking the box in the group attributes in 3DEN editor, Disable BFT I believe is what it says.
