How would one enable friendly fire in order to derp around without any AI?

I've tried searching for a couple of days but I couldn't really find anything helpful.


Appreciated.

The only way I know of is to use build 26 or earlier, before friendly fire was implemented.

Well that isn't really an option, most of the mods wouldn't work either. I guess I'll just PM a modder, perhaps they know something just don't just read these places.

Short answer is you don't.

Long answer is you just can't, practically speaking.

You might be able to enable it on a per-faction basis by using a script attached to every projectile used by that faction that sets the projectile's team to -2 in the Create event, but as far as I'm aware there just really isn't a way to do it for every unit/projectile/etc. on the map/in the scene/whatever.

Oh well, looks like I can't enjoy this game anymore then, at least for now.

Derping around shooting my own units was hilarious, especially under the slight effects of alcohol.


Thanks anyway.

It is certainly possible, but a bit tedious. If you open CrabAI, DropShipAI, HumanAI, RocketAI, TurretAI in Base.rte/Actors/AI/ and add the line below to the Create()-function
you will make all actors that use the native AI collide and hit allies with their weapons. You would then have to do the same thing for any mods with custom actor scripts.

I see, it is indeed quite a job. I've grabbed a dozen or so mods too, no idea if they use different AI's though.

I'll just wait then, but I leave the thread open in case there's other workarounds, thanks for the help!

Greetings again!

I just thought of popping up and asking if there are any future plans regarding friendly fire?

There is a script somewhere on the forum, i can't remember where. When B31 comes out, i want to see an option where you can choose whenever it is on or off.

The dream lives on ;-;

Never forget.

I know mate, I was there posting right after it.

I still don't know how well it works with all the mods and ♥♥♥♥ and I doubt it's plug and play like that. I think it isn't too much asked to implement a setting for friendly fire, that would be pretty sensible considering the game, but as I said somewhere else, I think I'll just wait it out.

Oh and I keep checking in every few months/years, whenever it enters the deep trails of my thought. See you again in a *insert a large amount of time here*

I hope this will achieve something sometime in the future and if/when it gets done some kind soul would notify me

This affects every actor, once done.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, could all my wet dreams finally come true? I will definitely put this to test first thing tomorrow.

Wouldn't having every actor constantly setting values on every actor every frame be pretty resource intensive?
