Good guys & Bad guys

gawainviii

I'm working on my [RSE] Series... The series is built for KDF officers. During a ground combat sequence, I want Federation & Romulan Republic groups to ally against the PC and Imperial Romulans...

If I'm just putting Republic against Imperials, I can easily spawn mobs of the "wrong" side and reskin them...

But when I add the Federation faction, the Ally & Enemy problem comes into play... because the Feds won't attack the Republic (reskinned as Imperials)... but will attack the Imperials (reskinned as Republic).... If I switch it around, then the "bad guys" won't attack each other--which is what I want--but my Imperial allies are hostile, while the Republic enemy are friendly to me.

IDK how I'm gonna fix this. Is there any way to force an allegiance/enemy flag that I don't know about?

Nope, we have certain limitations there. Which is apparently hard coded into the game or something.

Hmm.. have you tried this with neutral groups? To see if you can get the enemy groups to attack them?

markhawkman

um... we have very few neutrals. It might just be targs.

You're going to have to go with a characteristically foundry solution (ie. improvise, because we cannot create new behavior settings for ourselves):

1. Reskin FED mobs as Romulans for Republic Romulans (wrong weapons but in this specific encounter there's no way around it that I can see.)
2. Reskin Nausicaan or Orion mobs (depending on how you feel about the look of the weapons) as Imperial Romulans. These will attack FED but not KDF.
