East Friendly To West? Options

[el_duderino]

Im trying to create a mission with U.S. and Russian forces working together aginst Independant Factions and was curious if there is a script or anything that can be used to make them friendly? I tried using the set captive but the OPFOR still shoots the west units. Ive tried reserching this on my own and as im not very good at modding i hope the ARMA community can offer me more help than what ive found on the net. Also if any one can give me a link to all the availible voices and faces for use in ARMA2:CO's description.ext that would be great.

You can use the setfriend command to change "friendliness" between the four sides.

Simple syntax:

CODE

Side1 setfriend [Side2,X]

Where X is any value between 0 and 1. With 0 being the worst of enemies and 1 being the best of friends. Bear in mind this makes Side1 view Side2 as friends, you need to run a similar command for Side2!

The best place to stick this is in your init.sqs file (if you haven't made one yet, create a file called "init.sqs" in your mission's folder, a script with this name will automatically be run at the beginning of the mission)

So, if you want BLUFOR and OPFOR to be friendly to each other, and hostile to Independents, use this:

CODE

West setfriend [East,1];
West setfriend [Resistance,0];
East setfriend [West,1];
East setfriend [Resistance,0];

Note that these use the OFP side names, so BLUFOR=West, OPFOR=East and Independent=Resistance.

(It's recommended you don't make West, East or Resistance hostile to civilians or sideLogic! It can result in some... unusual AI behaviour... the best example I've heard to is soldiers trying to defend themselves against trees! )
