Original side of renegade unit

Once a BLUEFOR kills 5 civilians, it becomes a rendegade.

Nevertheless, the kills from the renegade unit should still be accountable to the original side.

Therefore the following code stops adding to the counter.

if (side _killer == west) then
{
	a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west = a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west + 1;
	publicVariable "a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west";
};

I also tried:

if (side [color="Red"]group [/color]_killer == west) then
{
	a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west = a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west + 1;
	publicVariable "a3d_int_civilian_killed_by_west";
};

The counter still stops after 5 civilian victims.

Is there anyway I can obtain the original side of the unit before becoming a renegade?

getNumber (configFile/"CfgVehicles"/(typeOf _killer)/"side")==1

0=east

1=west

2=resistance

3=civilian

wow...

Thanks a lot, it works.

A couple of questions:

1. If a BLUFOR gets into an OPFOR car, the kill is reported as of OPFOR. Is there anyway to count the kill for BLUEFOR?

2. Is there any documentation on CfgVehicles (apart from this)? I mean, where did you get the "side" values?

1. I'm not familiar with the problem so not really sure.

2. I use http://browser.dev-heaven.net/home to browse configs.
