Notes
- The change IFF sexp can be used by mission designers so that when called, it will change the IFF of a given ship so that it can effectively change allegiance. It can also be used to change the Player's IFF simulating desertion or Command's wrath at messing up in some way.
- The Source Code Project has enabled access to the "Traitor" IFF, which is to be preferred over "Hostile" for mission-generated traitor states. It will trigger the table-controlled traitor debriefing.
- (confirmed on Nov 17, 2020 nightly build) Unlike most SEXPs that manage ships, this one can be used on ships that have not yet arrived. Strangely enough, change-iff-color must be called
on ships already present.
- See also change-iff-color.
