[Custom] Forces

The Forces dialog allows you to create Forces and assign players to those Forces

• A Force is a grouping of players
• Players that belong to the same Force does not necessarily mean they are on the same 'team'
• Force provides a useful grouping of players when writing DriftScript.
• The information in this dialog is only used for custom game-type maps

Important!

• There are always 3 implicit players and 1 implicit force in every Drift Wars map / game-mode.
• The 3 implicit players are: Neutral (id = -1), Hostile (id = -2), and Rescue (id = -3)
• The 1 implicit force is: Neutral (id = -1)
• All 3 implicit players are part of Force Neutral (id = -1)
• These special players/forces do not appear in game's scoreboard, post-stats, etc.

Each of the special/implicit players may have certain properties:

• Neutral: Cannot auto-attack, has no map vision
• Rescue: Cannot auto-attack, has no map vision, units change PlayerID when touched by a non-special player
• Hostile: Can auto-attack, has map vision, acts mostly as a normal player
