Description
- Description:
- Mark a unit as captive. If unit is a vehicle, commander is marked. A captive is neutral to everyone (belong to civilian side), and will not trigger "detected by" conditions for its original side.
Using a number (instead of a boolean) for the status has no further effect on the engine's behavior, but can be used by captiveNum to keep track of the captivity status at a finer resolution (e.g. handcuffed, grouped, etc.). The numbered status syntax was introduced in Arma 2. - Groups:

- This function does not remove unit's weapons. If you make a unit captive, that unit will still fire on the enemy, but the enemy will not fire back.

- If you change a unit from captive to no longer captive (for example, to "reveal" an undercover unit), enemy units that already have prior knowledge of the unit as a captive will only partially engage, making it very easy for the undercover unit. This seems to be a bug. However other enemy unit the unit later encounters will engage freely with full force.

Talkingtoaj note doesn't apply to Arma 3 anymore (earlier than 1.76)
A captive unit will immediately be shot (after a normal "human" reaction time from the AI)
