Description

Description:

In a nutshell, this command creates game Side. Without side it is not possible to create Groups. So if center for particular side is undefined, no groups can be created for this side. A Unit needs a group to be able to spawn in. So if no center for particular side exists, no groups for this side can be created and therefore no units for this side can be spawned. In Arma 3, the centers for all sides are created for you. Trying to create center for existing side is ignored.

Old description: Creates a new AI HQ for the given side. An 'HQ ' is something each side needs to have to be able to communicate. By default, all centers for units which are present in the mission are created before the mission is started. This command can be used to initialize a side which has no units present in the Mission.sqm, so that you can spawn groups and units for it. For the available sides see Side.

You need to set the new sides friendly status using the setFriend command, once you have created your Center. Otherwise the newly created AI will not engage you, if you're on the opposing side.
