Hi all!

I made a fortress map (Minas Ithil, based on EA's Minas Morgul and edited^^) and I think I did quite a nice job. However, I got some problems. In the city (and in two outposts outside), I put some neutral units (belonging to team SkirmishMen) and some civilians (belonging to team PlyrCivilian) wandering around. However, I couldn't manage to make the neutral units to attack nearby enemies (I made a script which automatically makes them allies of player inside the fortress). The same thing happen when playing with attackers: you can't directly attack them (not even civilians).

 

This is how a did:

 

- In the Player List, I set that SkirmishMen and PlyrCivilian consider Player_1 and Player_2 (another player inside the fortress) to be friends, while they consider the other team as Neutral (I've also changed that, making them Enemies)

- In the Scripts, I made one that changes the relationships of SkirmishMen and PlyrCivilian toward a Player, if this attacks them or attacks Player_1

 

But none of the two ways above mentioned work. Why this happen?

 

Hope you can help me^^

Try changing the teams. I am sure that stuff on SkirmishMen will be given to the first player who chooses to play as the Men faction.

I figured out what I did wrong: I made a code checking for Team's relationships, rather than Player's relationships. Now I managed to make the civilians attackable. However, they can be attacked by any player outside the fortress, even if it is allied with the player inside (plus the soldiers are still not attackable, though I changed the team and created a new whole one)

Moreover, I have another problem: I put a BFME outpost in the map, belonging to Player_1 (the owner of the fortress) which should unpack when the game starts and that the attackers should conquer to get access to special buildings and a nearby shipwright. However, as soon as the outpost is unpacked, it disappears and it spawns again the OutpostFlag, just like it has been destroyed. This happens each time I start the game, even if I try to build it again
