CommandT Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 Hi folks, Is it possible to make an AI unit IMMORTAL to all other units except the Player? Basically I'm trying to create a firefight on the ground, but I don't want everyone to kill themselves in 15 seconds... I want them to keep shooting at each other, however I still want the bad guys to be able to die from my own aircraft/ heli. Is that possible to do somehow? Many Thanks!
Exorcet Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 Could try using a script that detects when the player fires. Alternatively, use invisible instead of immortal and make the AI fire at points near enemies so they don't kill each other. There is no real direct way to do this, but a few indirect ways.

That's a pretty good idea! Thanks for that!

SUNTSAG Posted January 30, 2024 Posted January 30, 2024 @CommandT Please find attached an example of how I would potentially deal with this situation, which is simple and effective IMHO. I hope it helps. Cheers IMMORTALON-OFFOB.miz 1 Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

A bit of a compromise but definitely should keep the action going for a little longer. Thanks for that. I will test my new mission with this idea
