GameMaker [Solved] How will you handle troop teams?

[SeirLord Games]

Hi,

I made this game a few time ago:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SeirLord_Games.AntWarSimulator

And I want to remake it. One of the functions I will like to add is that you can have teams, so you can't attack your teammate. But I don't know how to do it and be efficient.

Anyone has an idea?
Thanks

Okay, I was thinking about something that should work:

For example we have the following;
- IA1 -> Team 1
- IA2 -> Team 1
- IA3 -> Team 2

Then when the IA1 creates soldiers, it will create obj_soldier_1, where 1 is the team number. This object will have the variable 'ia', which will be equal to IA1, this allows the soldier to interact with the IA1 and vice versa.

And the same with the IA2, it will create obj_soldier_1, with the difference of the variable 'ia', which will be equal to IA2.

Then we have IA3, which will create obj_soldier_2.

This allows obj_soldado_1 to make 'instance_nearest' of soldiers that are not from their team without problem.

It's easier than I thought, I leave this here in case someone has the same question or serves you.

A greeting!
