Change Relations

  • You can set which sides resistance is friendly/enemy to in the mission editor (click on the Intel box).
  • Everyone is friendly toward civilians. Civilians AI have a total impunity and can kill any enemy without retaliation (same as captive units).
  • You can use the setFriend command to set relations between any sides (even east and west).

// will make east friendly to west and vice versa east setFriend [west, 1]; west setFriend [east, 1];

One Way Hostility

Using the setCaptive command allows you to stop enemy units to fire on the target unit.

_soldier setCaptive true; // _soldier can shoot at enemy but enemy will not return fire

You can re-activate hostility by canceling captive status.

_soldier setCaptive false; // _soldier will be shot at again by enemy units

Two Way Hostility With Civilians

To make a civilian a potential target to other sides, you can either:

  • make the civilian a renegade by using the addRating command. This will make him a renegade, meaning an enemy to everyone including other civilians.

_civilian addRating -10000; // this will cause sides to shoot civilian, but not civilian to shoot back - for that, use setFriend

The renegade rating threshold is below -2000 (e.g -2001, -5000 etc).

Set in the Editor

  1. Group your civilians with an east leader
  2. Delete the east leader on mission load:
  3. On mission start, the east leader will not be here but the civilians will be on the east side.
