2 Questions with pilot rescue/taking documents

[ilovebeer 0]

Ok, i am making a mission to move into a enemy base and rescue downed pilots, what is the command to keep the enemy from shooting the pilots. I also want to make a secondary objective to steal some enemy documents, how would i go about to script that?

ok i did "this setCaptive true" but when the mission starts, they start running away? even when i set them on careless.

Ahh, right, you'll want to trick them.

First in their init fields put the following to strip them of their weapons:

this setCaptive true; removeAllWeapons this;

Then place a Russian Colonel-Rank unit grouped with them, but put the Colonel-Rank unit's Probability of Presence to 0%. That will make them weaponless and they won't run away. The Russian won't actually appear on the map, but since they will be grouped with a higher rank NPC, they'll be docile.

Do this to stop them moving:
