How do u make Civilain units join a certain side?

[screamingeagle_101]

For example. I'm making a mission which will involve two groups (both dressed in civilian attire) fighting each other. But how do u make them go East and West sides?

I had the same problem, this doesent always solve it completely. Just draw a group line from the unit you want to make join a side to the leader of the west/east side.

easy, save the mission go into the mission.sqm in notepad or wordpad and find the civilian you want to change sides for. It helps if you name the guys like west 1, west 2, ect.  Find something similar to this. I realize this is a blackop im doing this to, but this is just an example.

position[]={3102.984375,23.419296,6164.833008};
azimut=310.000000;
id=5;
side="WEST";
vehicle="SoldierWSaboteurPipeHGS";
player="PLAYER COMMANDER";
leader=1;
skill=0.600000;
init="this removeweapon ""HK""";

So where it says side="WEST"; put EAST where it would say west on there to make the WEST soldier be recognized as eastern. This works both ways, you can also use it to make any unit resistance or civilian, but i do not recall what those are at the moment. I think resistance is "GUER" but I do not remember. But anyways just save your mission in the editor. Open up the mission.sqm with notepad. Change the side value, save it, then reload your mission in the editor and he will be on that side. But when you die and respawn you will respawn with the default weapon for each side, M16 for the west, and AK47 for the east.

Just draw a group line from the unit you want to make join a side to the leader of the west/east side.

and put this in the West/East officer's init field:
