Title: 3rd front
Post by: colecampbell666 on December 22, 2007, 11:32:55 am: How do I add a third team to FRED? When I set Shivans as enemy, Vasudans as traitor, and Terrans as friendly, the Vasudans fire on each other. Will they do this if I check "All teams at war"?

Post by: colecampbell666 on December 22, 2007, 11:42:30 am: Will they attack the other teams?

Post by: Shade on December 22, 2007, 11:46:19 am: If you tick the "All Teams at War" box, then yes, all teams will consider other teams hostile. Usually Hostile and Unknown will not fire on eachother, but with this on, they will.

Vasudans as traitor
Traitors will always attack other traitors.

:minibump:

Last time I checked, they didn't inflict damage upon one another, but that was with 3.6.9. Has that been changed for the next release?

You mean a Deimos on my side, right?

Post by: Snail on December 23, 2007, 07:32:43 pm: Well, what I meant was that the traitors should be damaging each other because they attack each other, but aren't. The damage "toning down" should be turned off for the traitors faction.

That's a very good point. Mantis it and assign it to me.
