Hi, I think a lot of things will be made easyer to realise, if it was possible to assign an actor to a team, ie the current aow turrets are a load of code magic, wich wouldnt be nessesary if the turrets was assigned to a team.

My idea of this line of code:
actorteam "team"

I thought that's what the DesignatedTeam property was supposed to do.

LimitedToTeam is for player actors.

Anyway, AFAIK the FRIENDLY flag works almost properly for team games now.
Just sets them to friendly to the same team the Master/Creator is/was on.
Not sure it it messes with them if they switch teams.

I guess the omega team tried that aleready, I guess they found a problem with that and made up their magic :V
My idea would make thing easyer though

What is wrong with Qent's post? Why does (supposedly?) Qent's post not work? Requoting:

Because as Qent said, I see on the zdoom wiki:
DesignatedTeam team
Assigns the actor to the specified team by number. In team play, the actor will not take friendly fire from teammates unless the teamdamage CVAR is set. If the monster is friendly, it will not target said teammates.
Is this not in Zandronum?

I dont know watermelon, but if it is, then I guess omega had aleready used it I think.
I will ask them about it, its allways good to decrease lag a bit, but I guess the main thing is that they can destroy turrest of their own team though.
