Friendly fire

[chris p. bacon 182]

Today I killed someone when he was trying to loot one of my friend's bodies. The death message came up as "LoneWolf was killed by super cool kid (Friendly Fire)".

I didn't get a murder, bandit kill, or lose humanity. I had no previous encounters with LoneWolf besides an extended gunfight since I can't aim. What is this friendly fire?

No idea but you lucked out with the shitty humanity system not shoving itself on you for once.

The way players are created is that everyone is on the same "side" (BLUFOR). ArmA II and OA were not built for this mod, but rather as a FPS/basic simulator. I'm pretty sure it was simply a glitch, as it seems there is a configuration which makes the game thinks everyone is not on the same team. When the configuration failed, it was probably counted as an entity not detected by the murder/bandit kill count, and in return, humanity.

"Hey, that guy's taking things from a dead body. I better shoot him in the head."

Yeah, punishing that kind of thinking would be the worst possible use of humanity. Although in this case they were probably a disguised bandit.

It was my friend's body, and before I shot him, I said "hey you, in the ghillie suit, I'm going to shoot you if you don't stop looting that body."
