Post FF and FC toggle options
I'd really like it if there were friendly fire and friendly actor collision toggles in the options.

This. If not for serious gameplay, but the sandbox mayhem explosion madness fun.

That should not be difficult since it is all controlled by one flag per actor (afaik). In the meanwhile you can turn it on like this:
Code:
for A in MovableMan.Actors do A.IgnoresTeamHits = false end
Or you could just add self.IgnoresTeamHits = false in the create function in the AI-scripts. I think the IgnoresTeamHits property is inherited by the weapons handled by that actor, so projectiles should also hit team mates.

Just a warning to anyone who haven't played the game before B26: The AI will have even less of a chance if you set IgnoresTeamHits to false.

Yeah, but it would be nice if we had a convenient way to toggle it on and off anytime from a menu in-game.

Typing that on the console in game would turn it off, and typing it again changing false for true would turn it on back again, pretty quickly and easily.

Would it be possible to somehow attach that line to a hotkey through a script?

Yes it would, but only if you had a particle spawning in every scene by default.

Does that include collision with friendly actors?

EDIT: I also think there should be a more user friendly way implemented for other users. Like... you know, buttons in the UI.
