Switch Sides?

[Switch Sides?]

Hmmmm - almost! :)

It allows me to switch the USMC guys to being hostile once the trigger activates, but they just look at me aggressively, without actually shooting...

This was the code I used to turn them hostile:

Resistance setFriend [West, 0]; 
West setFriend [Resistance, 0];

The BIKI entry does specifically say that using this mid-mission can cause issues. Any ideas?

Edit:

Units spawned AFTER the side switch trigger is hit seem to act "normally" - I guess I'm going to have to work out how to despawn and then respawn the USMC troops to make them suitable hostile :)

[Switch Sides?]

Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if it's possible through scripting to dynamically change which side the "Guerillas" are on during a mission.

As an example - in a mission I'm working on, I'd like the guerilla units to be friendly to CDF/USMC until a trigger is hit (in this case, detonation of a carbomb).

Is this possible?

[simple script not sue how to call for it]

Mine are called like this:

null0 = this execVM "ammo.sqf"

Not sure if your scripts being sqs rather than sqf would effect it, either.

[call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;]

Thanks for the suggestion guys, placed an RU unit on the map, and everything worked as expected. I was being all clever trying to work stuff out on an empty test map ;)

[call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;]

Didn't get an answer in the other thread, so I'll be cheeky and try here aswell.

is BIS_fnc_spawnGroup only able to provide friendly troops? I can only get it to spawn friendlies, and if I call it to spawn enemies, nothing appears.

[Creating group with BIS_fnc_spawnGroup]

Is this supposed to only be able to spawn friendly units?

This works just fine if the player is Russian (activated from a radio trigger)

SpawnPos = getMarkerPos "matkerpos";
SpawnUnits = ["RU_Soldier_SL", "RU_Soldier_TL", "RU_Soldier_AR", "RU_Soldier_AR", "RU_Soldier_LAT", "RU_Soldier_LAT", "RU_Soldier", "RU_Soldier"];
Spawnskill = [0.5, 0.5];
_side = EAST;
[spawnPos, _side, SpawnUnits, [], [], SpawnSkill] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

but spawns nothing if the player is BLUFOR.

Am I being thick?
