Switching sides

Ok, I'm making a mission where you're this civilian, you go into a building, and shoot a russian officer. I wanna know, what do I write into a trigger to make the guy turn to west so the Russians will shoot him?

You're going about it the wrong way. He's not going to turn into west. Use a resistance civilian militia instead. He'll already be enemy to the russians. Requires bis_resistance.

two ways of doing.   in both cases  you need the command

this setCaptive true

in the loon's init field .... when you want East to shoot him you need a trigger

on activation:  loon1 setCaptive false

1)  create a civilian and a West soldier.    The West soldier is the group leader.     Delete the West soldier at the start of the mission and hey presto the civvy will be regarded as West by the AI ... except that he is setcaptive

2) Edit the mission.sqm file.      How to do this has been well covered on this board already and is probably in the FAQ too.
