Fighting civilians?

[Sakato]

Did anybody ever try to make civilians shoot?
I'm trying to build a spy-story-like mission, and I would use them as Bad Boss Grunts & Ladies...

Thanks, Sakato

You can either download civ clothed people from other sites or change the SQM file of a mission so that enemy units turn into civilian clothed ones on the enemy side.  There are other threads like this elsewhere on the forum.  Can't remember where, just browse around.  If I find it I'll post a link.

Or go play Bridge to Freedom!  ;D

This means there's no way to make them change to bad guys or disguised soldiers through the init field...?

No, Not That I've Seen, But it's No big Deal, just Open the mission.sqm file, and where it says side=civ change it to side=east or what ever you want, I don't think you have to do this for all the civies but it will say Group or something, and you just edit that if you have any ?s PM me, but I'll give you an example
class Item25
{
   side="EAST";
   class Vehicles
   {
   items=1;
   class Item0
   {
   position[]={7352.411133,48.673855,3599.827881};
               azimut=190.000000;
   id=141;
   side="EAST";
   vehicle="Civilian5";
   leader=1;
   rank="COLONEL";
   skill=0.333333;
   text="Aidid_1_1";
   markers[]={};

Every where it says side Change to East

or you can set resistance side to whatever you want, create a resistance man and group the civvies to him. then in the init of the resistance man type 'deleteVehicle this'.

so they will then be on the resistance side, and the man you grouped them to will vanish upon startup.
