Bots & Teams: How?
by Ryan Scott · in Torque Game Engine · 10/31/2003 (9:40 am) · 8 replies
I'm using a resource provided by Xavier Amado to implement teams, found here.
The resource implements teams in the game.cs file using functions such as GameConnection, etc.
I thought I would be able to query the player's team by using a %this.teamid, however when using an echo to test it, all I see is a blank line where I would have expected to see the team number.
In addition, what would be the best way to allow bots to choose a team? What about other objects, such as vehicles? Could I use this team implementation method to "join" and object to a team (so that only the team members could mount that object.)
If anyone is familiar with this resource enough to provide me some ideas...
Thanks bunches.

I put it in a few different spots... one of which was in function Armor::damage and function Armor::onDamage() -- I've tried a few places...

And now that I looked through it... maybe a Player:: function would be the better place...

Well, I just tried it in function Player::playDeathAnimation(%this) and still didn't get what I expected.

I will look into this I have't dealt with this code in a while. I'll get back.

echo("Team : " @ %this.client.team.teamId);

Try this. You need to get the specific client.echo("Team : " @ %this.client.team.teamId);
