How to make AI units come hostile when the player enters an area? I want the enemy become hostile only when the player enters their camp.

Use setcaptive to make a character non-targetable by the AI.

CODE

This setcaptive true

CODE

This setcaptive false

If you to create a trigger for the base area, and group it to the player, set it to "this vehicle, repeatedly, present"
You can use this in your "on activation" field:

CODE

Player setcaptive true

And this on your "on deactiviation" field:

CODE

Player setcaptive false

Which should get the desired effects. Alternatively, you can make it a single shot trigger, and put "this setcaptive true" on the player init field, so the enemy won't disengage when the player leaves the base.

I was thinking something like disabling the AI until the player is present at some trigger area, because I still want some enemies to attack the player outside the area.

And another question. how to make soldiers to get into cargo like in this picture? Is it an animation only or is it possible to make soldiers get into vehicles like that?

It's just an animation.

Oh snap... That was possible in arma. But is there a way to disable the AI until the player is present at the trigger. Like Disableai commands for enemy groups?
And when the player is present enableai command or something is used to make the enemies hostile.

DisableAI
EnableAI
ForEach

Running a command for an entire group is pretty easy:

CODE

{_x disableAI "move"} foreach units group SL1

Where SL1 would be a squadleader. You could also try sticking all the units you want to be part of the group to be disabled under a trigger (activated by the side they're on), and having the on activiation field read:

CODE

Disablegroup = Thislist

Then use:

CODE

{_x disableAI "move"} foreach Disablegroup

Oh thanks! Just what I was looking for!

I have a new question! I need a way to activate a waypoint with radio. The player uses the radio and tells the H.Q to send some groups to the battlefield. How can I do this?

And yet another question. I need a way to create enemy mortar fire when a triggers is activated. When the trigger area is free from enemies, mortar rounds will start dropping to the same area. How can I do it. I want it done like it was done in the scenario mission where you play with the russians.
