unfortunaltly, this doesn't work for human players
you need a link
So you could use solution for an AI platform, transmitting this contact on the link ... for example
Maybe hard to make a working solution here ...

ok : if side 5 (neutral) attacked by side 2, then run script
script => platform2 engage platform 1; platform3 engage platform 1
do that for each AI

then, as they will know the target position (engage script give them the real position) they will send the link to you after some minutes.
But of course, you will need the link to see the ennemy position

yes
another possibility is to create an "accident" if the engage neutrals => damage system propulsion + torpedo tubes for 30 mn for example, or even sonars ...
there is quite some possibilities in fact.

this depends mainly on mission objectives
It's the creator work to find real and interesting objectives.
This editor allow you this near as you wish.
But a good MP mission need really hours and hours of work
And are supposed to be often updated, as you improve in mission editing.

one example of objective : give a datum to a civilian (objective blue) and a kill civilian objective to the red.
This way red sub need to snake and avoid ennemies to win the game
there is lots of objective examples, but they are the real key to make a MP mission interesting for both sides.
