Introduction:Hi I have been playing Cortex Command ever since the Cortex Command Station was up I started playing around build 8 and never stopped since.

Request: Anyway I would like to request 2 simple bomb like vials, one green and one red. Basically all I want is a vial that an actor can carry and when taken, the actor will switch sides depending on what vial he/she took.

Example: If a red actor was carrying a green vial, when taken, the actor will switch sides to a green actor and the red controller would no longer have control over the actor anymore. Same as if the vial were red, and the actor were green.

The Point: I basically want 2 vials that switch an actors team, based on the color of the vial.

Although Technicaly possible, team switching is bad and can cause game crashes.

also this is not easy to do

yes it is. it is very easy.
the hardest bit of this mod is the sprites, assuming you know how to attach a script and make the explosive gib RIGHTNOW
Code:
function Create(self)
for a in MovableMan.Actors do
if (a.Pos - self.Pos).Magnitude < 50 then --size of the proximity check
a.Team = --1 for green, 0 for red
end
end
end

add that to a particle gibbed by a vial
DONE!

i tested this before, it looks like it works A-ok.
but yeah, if its causing crashes just remake that ♥♥♥♥♥ and use the inventory handler. that way they'll also work as healing vials.
