Battle Groups

Welcome To Fight Groups, where we talk about fight groups because we want our beloved friends to come SO WE CAN KICK THEIR ASSES and then huggle them afterwards like good caring humanlings.

Special thanks to the magical Dr. Nash who through some Devkit Doctor Internet Sorcery, pretty much possessed me and did 90% of this UI scripting that I had no knowledge of beforehand. He took this clunky feature set I have in Deadlands mod and transformed it into some sleek niceness for everyone to enjoy. Thanks Nash \o/

Mod Features: Group UI: Shift G to open the Group UI. Select a group, then click Update Groups, then close the window. Any players who have checked the same group will not be able to hit or hurt each other. Safezone Placeable: Plant it down and no pvp can happen in its area. After 10 seconds the glowing area that shows its radius will fade. (Admins) Create and Delete Groups: Anyone logged in as an admin can create and delete group names.

Little technical notes: If a player has their window open when an admin creates a group, they will need to reopen the Group UI. If a player has their window open when an admin delets a group, they won't actually join it. If there is any confusion, just leave all groups and then reapply your groups.

You can hurt people outside your group, and you can join multiple groups in case you have a teamup of 2+ different sets of people that want to work together to take on a different group that's against everyone. Lots of easy possibilities!

[Overwrite] BP_CollisionComponent. Funcom told me to do this as a workaround since they factored player communities out of making a difference in 2.2 or 2.3. I do not believe any other mod out there as of this release modifies this.

Planned: Resizeable Safezone areas: Allow the owner to edit the item so it saves its size. Admin Move players into groups: Allow admins to unassign/assign groups for players.

Community/faction switchers:

Every character and NPC has a community ID that determines their 'faction' ID# and who they are friendly with (IE for most undead types, its 2008). When a player is put into a different community, the NPCs ignore them and they do not attack or do damage to each other, which is great for PCs fighting alongside NPCs. I have these tools already available manually for some creature communities in my main mod, but my goal is to allow Admins/special ranks in this mod to set the community of a player from a menu for events and who knows what you might need it for. I also have an effect that will call allies of that community to a player's aid as if they were one of them, making things like crazy cat ladies dire and most serious business, or more traditionally, undead commanders actually potent.

This is a feature split from my main mod, Deadlands, which adds a lot of combat systems and movesets, new weapons and some armor pieces, and other features.
