Array of civilians fire upon another group

[onionres]

I want to get a group of civilians upon noticing this other group to open fire upon them.

Also, how do i get the east to open fire upon civilians, sort of 'on demand'.

Create a West officer.   Make his probability of presence 0.    Group the civvies under him.     Make them setCaptive true.   At the appropriate moment make them setCaptive false and East will fire on them.   They will always fire at East.

Make the other group of civvies East in the same way.

or units _yourarray doFire loon_1
that would work for both east and civs. They won't fire at each other without that command though.

Another trick I found is you can edit the mission.sqs code. Name your blokes something you will remember like loon_1 and loon_2. Then go into the mission.sqs files and find where the following is:

Code: [Select]

class Item0
            {
               position[]={9937.903320,26.730000,3996.199707};
               azimut=-361.890015;
               id=2;
               side="GUER";
               vehicle="Hunter";
               player="PLAYER COMMANDER";
               leader=1;
               skill=0.600000;
   
                text = "loon_1"

   markers[]={};
               init="this setBehaviour ""safe""; removeAllWeapons this; this addMagazine ""handgrenade""";
            };
*This is just an example*
you'll know who ur loon is by the 'text = ' line. Change the 'vehicle' to this:

Code: [Select]

vehicle = "FakeGSoldierC" i'm almost possitive thats the vehicle. this will make the person a civie lookin man w/ an ak or a m4. (i u want to change the body, put in FakeGSoldierC2 insted). Then you just setCaptive loons and ur good. #member 2 put the resistance 2 enemy of east#

Edit: any1 want 2 check on dat vehicle class? i'm almost possitive, but ! 100%
