I was wondering if there's a way to have a turret able to be destroyed by your own team.

I'm making deployable turrets and if possible I want them so they're solid, but then I run into the age old problem of what happens if some noob places it in the way of the harvester or blocks a door...

This is a map mod only, not server side and I don't know enough about making my own scripts to even compile... Level editor is the preferred way.


Level edit is my play ground

Only easy way I know of is to make them neutral but then they'd either attack both teams or neither depending on the scripts you use.

bored much? Razz I thought of that, but for the reasons you put I'm still here asking.

Is there a way to have it still be useful by the team yet able to be destroyed by the team? (i.e. a script perhaps?)

How do servers deal with badly placed turrets?

	if (Get_Object_Type(damager) == Get_Object_Type(obj))
	{
		if (damage > 0.0f)
		{
			Commands->Apply_Damage(obj, damage,"Explosive",damager);
		}
	}


Something like this would apply the damage of the shooter to the turret if the team were the same. This way you can team the turret to GDI but still damage it but it would still only attack Nod.

Just an idea :/

I don't mind having it damageable by both teams if it comes to that (if that's what your talking about), but I have no idea how to put that into what I'm doing.

Pretty sure damage is calculated before it calls scripts so the value would be zero.... so that wouldn't work anyway.
