getting AI to fire on a civilian player

[revenicus 0]

I've read the threads about getting AI to fire on civilian AI. that works. but I have a mission where you start out as a civilian by yourself, and I need OPFOR to fire on him.

heres what ive tried:

-RACS is friendly to no one

-grouped him with a blufor commander

-tried that setrating to -5000, didn't do anything

-setcaptive false

they look at me, and once in a while they'll fire at me if I run circles around them. but they don't react to me the way they react to indepedents or blufor. any ideas?

i have a couple ideas.

you could try the dotarget and fire commands

or you could try the MAP_MISC addon and use the invisible targets for the AI to fire upon.

Grouping the civilian with a BLUFOR leader (higher rank than the civilian), and setCaptive false should definitely work.

I have a working mission where there are two opposing factions of civilians-- some grouped with blufor and some grouped with opfor. They fire on one another, and blufor and opfor fire on the correct civilians.

tried both. doesn't work.

grouping the civilian to a blufor only works when its AI civilians. the opfor AI will definately kill the AI civilians, but not me. not the civilian players. when grouped to a blufor, they do look at me more then if i was just a civilian, but they still consider me an enemy.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player addRating -100000

Now everyone will try and kill you.

Doesn't work. this is a MP mission btw, maybe thats why it doesn't work.

Ooops sorry. The command is addRating not setRating

Use DoFire command!

Dofire just makes people automatically look at me, and shoot at me. I need opfor to react to the civ as they react to blufor.

addrating doesn't work either.

Make a trigger near the opfor guys

And when it's activates they will shoot u

You should open the mission.sqm file and change the side of your civilian to west

That should be it

namreg, you made my day, even if it was 3 years ago :) So obvious but I didn't think of it myself! Building a campaign where the player infiltrates dressed like a civilian, this works perfectly when I need OPFOR to figure out that the Civ is really BLUFOR.
