Killing civilians.

[Foxhound74]

Is there a way to set it so a faction. (Like the soviets.) Will attack civilians? I want to make a mission were you have to stop some soldiers attacking a village.
I know the trick of putting civilians in a squad with another factions soldier. But is there any other way?

Also. Is there a way to make a panicked rush? (Like instead of everyone dropping to the ground when they get shot at the all start to run as fast as they can away from the firing.)
Thank you in advance.

hi,

Is there a way to set it so a faction. (Like the soviets.) Will attack civilians? I want to make a mission were you have to stop some soldiers attacking a village.

Yes it's possible to make russian attack civilians. You have to edit the mission.sqm for that. Change all CIV by WEST or GUER.

Open the mission.sqm in the notepad and use replace by function.

i.e replace CIV by WEST and then press replace all. In this example all CIV in the mission will be replaced by WEST.

NOTE1: the mission.sqm MUST NOT be loaded in the editor while you edit it in the notepad or when you will save the file the modifications will be lost.

NOTE2: Edit the init field and name of the units you want to change first. Because after side change, if you open those units again, they will go back automaticly to civilian side.

NOTE3: you can copy and paste the changed units they will keep their side changed.

Example:

//I want to change a M1A1 by Vulcan and a west soldier by east soldier without opening the editor:
//here's a simple mission.sqm file edited in the note pad:
