Which side are civilians on?

Quick question - whose side are civilians on?

I know by default if you arm a civilian he starts shooting at East, but is that determined by who the resistance are friendly to?

Yes, the people the civvies shoot at is the enemies of the resistance.

Thanks.

Is there any way to change this, short of changing the civilians side?

Say for instance I want the civilians to be friendly to the East, but hostile towards the Resistance. I know I can to this by changing the civlians side to East, but then the Resistance will shoot at them.

Hey, if a load of civvies started shooting at me, I'd certainly shoot back. If you really want to avoid that problem, you may want to "setcaptive true" all your civvies..

Create a east soldier far away from the fight and far way from everybody (with resistance hostile to east of course), make for him waypoint where you want the civilian to go

Now make every civilian you want to be east friendly , resistance hostile to join the soldier

then kill this east soldier , the civilian who have joined this east guy will choose a new leader inside them and will follow the dead soldier waypoint

And , they will remain with east side

Now for the code part

And make a trigger with the east guy inside , choose at Activation :  East

In the line On Activation put

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[NameCivilian] join NameEastGuy; NameEastGuy setdammage 1<span id='postcolor'>

if you want a specific civilian (here named NameCivilian) to join the east guy (here named NameEastGuy) or

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[NameCivilian1,NameCivilian2,NameCivilian3] join NameEastGuy; NameEastGuy setdammage 1<span id='postcolor'>

if you want by example three civilian to join this east guy in the same row

(and it will kill the east guy , so civilian will act on their own and follow the waypoints)

But remember to name every civilian and the east soldier and so to modify the codes with your choosen name
