Side (Independent unit) returns GUER
New, NormalPublic
Actions

Description

When using Side on a unit from the independent side it returns GUER.
(Side (independent unit)) will be interpreted as Resistance/Independent just fine by commands.
However using GUER doesn't work when coding.

The problem arises when you use the command in combination with Format where GUER will be an undefined variable.

Use WFSideText instead

That works fine, thanks.

In the watchlist
call compile format ["%1",(wfsidetext (side player))]
returns GUER but when run in my script it returns Resistance. Odd.

Sorry for bothering you.
