Description

Description:
Mark a unit as captive. If unit is a vehicle, commander is marked. A captive is neutral to everyone, 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:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:

Return Value:
Nothing

Example 1:
_soldier1 setCaptive true

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.
