For my first fps game, i am making a WW II based shooter. I want to give it the look and feel of a Medal Of Honour kinda game. One of my best levels is a D-Day level in which u have just escaped a nazi prison inside one of there bunkers, and u now have to gather intel about there plans and make it down the cliffs to the shores. I realized that if i wanted to make a fully realistic D-Day, then i would have to have the allies running around on the shore, and shooting at the nazis who were in there bunkers. But the problem is that everytime i would make it down to the shore, the allies and the germans would shoot me without even thinkin about it!!! Is there a way to alter this so that i am on the allies side and they are trying to kill the germans, but not me?

ooo, this has been asked alot and the answer has stayed pretty much the same. It the sanse of having allies that kill enemies no you cant, however, you can script it so that they shoot at enemies but they dont do any damage (I think). Sorry mate. Try searching incase you come up with anything that I have over looked.

Sorry

Im kinda new to the scripting community, (at least in the fps language), so im not too sure how to make them attack enemies without damaging them. I really just want people who are out there shooting there guns around at anyone except for me.

Click on thew search button at the top of the page.It will take you to the search box where you should type in the word "allies" (no quotes).
You will find enough threads to answer any questions you may have.
I do have nightmares about people I know asking about allies because I have seen way too many of these threads.
The quick answers I can give you is you can make it so entities don't shoot at you but you can't make them shoot each other.
But your best bet is to use the search function.

Atomic Gamer001, I know you are new and all but really, there was a thread made a couple of days ago with someone who asked the same as you. I think someone once made a script that allowed characters to shoot each other, but not kill. It probably worked by identifying another entity and the character looking at the other entity played its shooting animation and vice versa. But, it would be very messy and the characters will only do that to one other character, I don't know really. Your best bet, that has been mentioned before is to use the search button and look into it. Anyway, If I were an allied prisoner running down the beach towards the Americans...

a) the enemy would see me escaping and shoot me.
b) the Americans would mistake me for a Nazi physco running towards them and shoot me.

Just letting you know.

Opposing Force.

edit: i'll post some scripts that I have found on the forums


The author said it makes a character fire in the direction it is positioned in.
