the AI-animated character ([this,"WATCH","FULL"] call BIS_fnc_ambientAnimCombat;) icon does not match the color of the faction.

Incorrect. It does match.

If you look at a closer view, you can see what's happening

Their factions are correct. But a new blufor unit (typeof == "Logic") is spawned at the same position.
I would expect Spectator view to not show Logics though, it doesn't show editor placed Logic entities.

Ah, its because the logic has a bluefor side, usually logics should be placed into "sideLogic"

BIS_fnc_ambientAnim creates the logic. And it puts it into "BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__group" which, is a blufor group. It should be a sideLogic group

BIS_fnc_ambientAnim__group = createGroup west;

@dedmen

I didn't understand much of what you said. In your screenshot, I also see red units with blue icons.
A red soldier should not have a blue icon.
Also, the icon of an animated character should not remain after the death or exit from the animation of this animated character.
Can't it be fixed?

@ mickeymen:

The blue icon does not belong to the character. The blue icon belongs to an invisible virtual Logic Entity. The virtual Logic Entity is created by BIS_fnc_ambientAnim for technical reasons. The function has a mistake, which causes the virtual Logic Entity to be a BLUFOR unit, instead of belonging to the Virtual side.

There is an internal ticket assigned, and it should be a simple fix, so it's likely it will be fixed.

@NikkoJT thank you for clarification

The blue icon does not belong to the character. The blue icon belongs to an invisible virtual Logic Entity

then needs correction.

Also, please don’t ignore the second part of the problem, I see no one wants to discuss this.
The icon should disappear when the animation is completed or when the character playing the animation is killed. But this doesn't happen.

There is an internal ticket assigned, and it should be a simple fix, so it's likely it will be fixed.

I really hope for a correction, because the blue BLUFOR icons hanging in the void, or on red faction units confuse the player in spectator mode

Also, please don’t ignore the second part of the problem, I see no one wants to discuss this.

It's not being ignored. It's the same problem and can be fixed as part of the same change. When the Logic Entity is assigned to the correct side, the icon will simply not appear at all.
