UE2 - UT2kX Team recognition

Is there away of creating an area around a node in onslaught that recognizes whether or not the player entering the area is friend or foe(same team or not)?

Depending on what you want to do, I imagine that you could extend one of the volume classes and override the method that is relevant to your application.

For example, I needed a damage volume that would damage players but not invasion monsters so I updated the CausePainTo method,

//=============================================================================
// DamageAllBarMonstersVolume.
// This actor can be used to damage bots and players
// but not invasion monsters
//=============================================================================
class DamageAllBarMonstersVolume extends PhysicsVolume
    placeable;

function CausePainTo(Actor Other)
{
    local float depth;
    local Pawn P;

    // FIXMEZONE figure out depth of actor, and base pain on that!!!
    depth = 1;
    P = Pawn(Other);
if ( P != class'Monster' )
{
some secret sauce goes here
}
}
defaultproperties
{
}

In your case, you should be able to query the Pawn for its team number (Pawn.uc has a function GetTeamNum()) and do something with that.

Maybe check out Team Specific Actors v2 (Google it). Not sure if it fits exactly what you want to do, but it's probably a good start.

Thanks for the response guys.

Looks like I need to learn some code.

GetTeamNum() of node.
Is node locked?
GetTeamNum() of player entering area.

Time to hit the books...
