Side Change

:hmm: Once again my stupidity has come into play. I have four civilians: Guy, Guy1, Guy2 and Geeno. I need the guys to be west and Geeno to be on East. How do i do it?

Open your missiom.sqm file, u should see something like this:

position[]={5363.975586,137.481888,10041.816406};
               id=0;
               side="Civilian";
                                                                   ....
change this to:
position[]={5363.975586,137.481888,10041.816406};
               id=0;
               side="WEST"---->if u want him to remain looking like a civ but from west side! u can use west/east/resistance
Don't change anything else

This is a very common question.   Ricardo's answer works, and there is also another way.

For example, make Geeno a member of a group commanded by an East loon.    At the start of the mission delete the loon and Geeno will be side East.
