Is it possible to disable collision for certain situations?

Is it possible to turn off collision for certain situations?

For example: Making a team-based multiplayer FPS game wherein your character and your bullet shots can walk/fly through your teammates.

If so, how is this done?

Take a look at the projectile::onCollision functions in the weapons scriptfile.

The projectile will have the client who shot it in it's datablock.
... from crossbow::onFire()

   %p = new (%this.projectileType)() {
      dataBlock        = %projectile;
      initialVelocity  = %muzzleVelocity;
      initialPosition  = %obj.getMuzzlePoint(%slot);
      sourceObject     = %obj;
      sourceSlot       = %slot;
     [b] client           = %obj.client;[/b]
   };
...
If you impliment a team system you could do something like 
function projectile::onCollision(%this, %obj,%col){
   if(%col.getTeamId() == %obj.client.getTeamId()) return;
  ...more code to damage enemies.
}
