Spawned Resistance Does Not Attack West

[BlackAlpha 10]

I'm trying to spawn resistance units who are hostile towards everybody (east and west). I've set the Resistance on "friendly to nobody" in the mission. This is the script I'm using:

(position, side, number of units)

[_pos, resistance, ((random 9) + 5)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup

Problem is that the resistance does not want to attack west units, even when under attack or when you "teamkill" them. They attack Russians, they attack me when I'm a civie and I start shooting them. They do not however attack west units and they don't even bother to defend themselves when I'm a west unit and I start shooting them at point blank range.

Weird thing is that they just say "hello" when west units are near them and I can even talk to them. Other west units just instantly shoot them but the resistance guys don't even go into an alert state. When I call them in I call them "Enemy man".

So, why do they refuse to attack west units?

probably because the side has no HQ. Either place a resistance unit in the editor (works also if you set it's presence-probability to zero) or have a look at createCenter

Awesome, mate! It worked. To be on the safe side, I placed 1 west, 1 east, 1 guer and 1 civie with 0 probability.

So for any mission wich dosent have certain editor placed sides (units) it's as simple as running the code in the init.sqf?? Even if the spawned units can be a totally random side?

init.sqf

_SideHQ = createCenter East;
_SideHQ = createCenter West;
_SideHQ = createCenter resistance;

Easier to just put down a unit off in a corner for whatever sides you want and set their Probability of Presence to 0%. They won't actually 'be there' but they'll create centers for all their factions.

just to let you know - found that AI opfur don't attack, as you have described, if you use the first aid modules in multiplayer.

yes much simpler I agree. Iam making a randomized 'hunter' template for someone, and I wanted to make it more user friendly to convert over to diffrent maps, without having to copy and paste the 0% pop units everytime.

Though asking someone to make sure there are editor placed units before hand isnt asking for much

PS, can I use the same handle >>

_sideHQ

<< for each of the create center commands if I wanted to create center for multiple sides in the init?

I dont think so, since the variable stores that particular side, once you use it for a new side, the old one is overwritten (unless the engine moves it into a temporary container, much like how sides are auto created when a unit is placed on the map)
