The game consists of 8 [[Side]]s: West, East, Civilian, Resistance, sideLogic, Friendly, Enemy or Unknown. You can determine which [[Side]] a unit is on by using the [[side]] command.

== Sides Relations ==


Sometimes you may want to use the [[faction]] command. Factions are slightly different to [[Side]]s. A US vehicle driven by a Russian will respond as belonging to the East [[Side]], but the USMC [[faction]].
{{Wiki|extractionScript}}


You can set which sides Resistance is friendly to in the mission editor (click on the Intel box). However, it is not possible to change the Resistance side relationship during a game.
=== Sides Friendship ===


Everyone is friendly toward Civilians. This means an armed Civilian will be able to slaughter unfriendly AI troops with impunity.

Armed civilians will automatically shoot at anybody who is not friendly to Resistance. Or alternatively, you can make Civilians hostile to other sides by using the [[setFriend]] command:

== Change Relations ==


* You can set which sides [[resistance]] is friendly/enemy to in the mission editor (click on the Intel box).
* Everyone is friendly toward [[civilian]]s. Civilians AI have a total impunity and can kill any enemy without retaliation (same as [[captive]] units).
* You can use the [[setFriend]] command to set relations between any sides (even [[east]] and [[west]]).


You can make other sides hostile to a civilian by making the civilian renegade. Place this code in the civilian unit's init field:
<sqf>
<code>this AddRating -10000; // Will cause sides to shoot civilian, but not civilian to shoot back</code>
// will make east friendly to west and vice versa
east setFriend [west, 1];
west setFriend [east, 1];
</sqf>


When the rating gets below -2000, the unit's side switches to "ENEMY" and the unit is attacked by everyone.
=== One Way Hostility ===


==Two way hostility==
Using the [[setCaptive]] command allows you to stop enemy units to fire on the target unit.
To enable hostility both ways - civilians shooting at a side and the side shooting back, you need to move the civilian unit to a hostile side.
<sqf>_soldier setCaptive true; // _soldier can shoot at enemy but enemy will not return fire</sqf>


'''Example:'''
You can re-activate hostility by canceling captive status.
<sqf>_soldier setCaptive false; // _soldier will be shot at again by enemy units</sqf>


To shoot at West, you can make Resistance unfriendly to West and group the civilian unit with Resistance, or you could group them to East side.
=== Two Way Hostility With Civilians ===


# Group your civilians with an East officer of higher rank than the civilians.
To make a civilian a potential target to other sides, you can either:
# put: '''deletevehicle this''' in the officer’s initialisation field (this will cause the officer not to appear)
* make the civilian a renegade by using the [[addRating]] command. This will make him a [[sideEnemy|renegade]], meaning an enemy to everyone including other civilians.
# When you start the mission, the officer won't be there as he is deleted, but the civvies think they are East, will take over command and follow all waypoints, and fire on anyone on the opposite side
<sqf>_civilian addRating -10000; // this will cause sides to shoot civilian, but not civilian to shoot back - for that, use setFriend</sqf>


{{Feature|informative|The [[sideEnemy|renegade]] rating threshold is ''below'' -2000 (e.g -2001, -5000 etc).}}


You can cause a unit to change sides during a mission by using the [[joinSilent]] command and joining them to a live officer (using an officer with '''deletevehicle this''' in their init field will not work).
* make the civilian [[join]] an enemy group, e.g [[east]]:<sqf>
private _eastGroup = createGroup east;
[_civilian] joinSilent _eastGroup;
</sqf>


The [[side]] command will return the correct side for units grouped with a side officer at the start of a mission, but not for units joined during a mission by means of the [[joinSilent]] command.
=== Set in the Editor ===


# Group your civilians with an [[east]] leader
# Delete the [[east]] leader on mission load:
#* Put <sqf inline>deleteVehicle this</sqf> in the officer's initialisation field.
#* Alternatively, set the '''[[Eden Editor: System#Attributes|probability of presence]]''' slider of the officer to '''zero'''.
# On mission start, the [[east]] leader will not be here but the [[civilian]]s will be on the [[east]] side.


===Undercover hostile civilians===
Place this code in the civilian unit's init field:
<code>this AddRating -2000;</code>


2000 is the threshold value for a unit being considered renegade. Now, if the civilian is to shoot any other units (for example, if it was player controlled), it will change sides to "ENEMY" and be attacked by units of all sides.

Change Relations

  • You can set which sides resistance is friendly/enemy to in the mission editor (click on the Intel box).
  • Everyone is friendly toward civilians. Civilians AI have a total impunity and can kill any enemy without retaliation (same as captive units).
  • You can use the setFriend command to set relations between any sides (even east and west).

// will make east friendly to west and vice versa east setFriend [west, 1]; west setFriend [east, 1];

One Way Hostility

Using the setCaptive command allows you to stop enemy units to fire on the target unit.

_soldier setCaptive true; // _soldier can shoot at enemy but enemy will not return fire

You can re-activate hostility by canceling captive status.

_soldier setCaptive false; // _soldier will be shot at again by enemy units

Two Way Hostility With Civilians

To make a civilian a potential target to other sides, you can either:

  • make the civilian a renegade by using the addRating command. This will make him a renegade, meaning an enemy to everyone including other civilians.

_civilian addRating -10000; // this will cause sides to shoot civilian, but not civilian to shoot back - for that, use setFriend

ⓘ
The renegade rating threshold is below -2000 (e.g -2001, -5000 etc).

Set in the Editor

  1. Group your civilians with an east leader
  2. Delete the east leader on mission load:
  3. On mission start, the east leader will not be here but the civilians will be on the east side.
