[Mod Help] Making guards angry on command

I'm currently looking for a way to trigger the guards hostility but I've had no luck finding the function or whatever that does this. I was hoping someone would help me.

Depends on how you want to do that.
You may try using
FactsAdd( "guards_alerted" );

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm a fan of your mods btw. I probably should've explained what I aim to do. I'm trying to make a mod that will make guards hostile towards you depending on the armor you're wearing.

After a lot of trial and error (I'm fairly new to all this but trying to learn as much as I can) I managed to discover how to determine if the player is wearing a specific armor set. Unfortunately that's all I've got so far. I don't know how to add something that will make guards notice if you are wearing that specific armor or how to make them turn on you.

If you've got any ideas I'd love to hear them.

Edit: Oh and your suggestion didn't work unfortunately, at least not the way I tried to implement it.

Well, other solution i can think of would be to add a repeating timer whenever player wears desired armor.
Something like this:

timer function angryguards( deltaTime : float, id : int )
{
var actors : array<CActor>;
var npc : CNewNPC;
var i : int;

actors = GetActorsInRange(thePlayer, 100, 99);
for(i = 0; i < actors.Size(); i += 1)
{
npc = ((CNewNPC)actors);
if(npc.GetNPCType() == ENGT_Guard)
{
((CActor)npc).SetAttitude( thePlayer, AIA_Hostile );
}
}

}

Ok so I combined your suggestion with what little I had:

if( witcher && witcher.GetItemEquippedOnSlot(EES_Armor, armor) )
if( GetInventory().GetItemName(armor) == 'DLC1 Temerian Armor' )
for(i = 0; i < actors.Size(); i += 1)
{
npc = ((CNewNPC)actors);
if(npc.GetNPCType() == ENGT_Guard)
((CActor)npc).SetAttitude( thePlayer, AIA_Hostile );
}

I am able to run this function with a specific trigger but I don't understand how the "timer function" works. I tried adding the whole function to the CActor class (actor.ws) but it doesn't work..

Also would you happen to know if the game differentiates between the different types of guards? Or are they all included in ENGT_GUARD? As you can probably tell by my code, I want Redanian and Nilfgaardian soldiers to react differently.

Thanks so much for your help man, I really appreciate it.

just find a timer function inside any class and copy it. Bear in mind that currently timer functions only work inside classes that have timer functions.
As for the different guards, reacting differently, only method i can imagine would be to filter by entity template.

You'd need to get CEntity of each guard and use entity.GetReadableName(). Possibly you could use either popup or hud message to display the paths and write them down.

Then just filter them by that readable name.

Holy shit, you're awesome. I got it working! I'll try to differentiate between guards when I get back from school today.
