I need by some help for the team detecting.

[The Storm]

Hi all,

Some of you already know that I code a bot for the HL mod Sands of War.
So I have a little problem. The bots shoot at the theyer teammates and I can't fix that. I code directly in to the SoW source. Here what I use:

void SearchForEnemy(CBasePlayer *bot) 
{ //Function to find enemies.

	EHANDLE nearestenemy;
	nearestenemy = NULL;

	for ( int i = 1; i <= gpGlobals->maxClients; i++ )
	{
		EHANDLE pPlayer;
		pPlayer = GetClientByIndex(i);
		float Dist1;
		float closest1 = 1000;

		// skip invalid players and skip self (i.e. this bot)
		if ((pPlayer == NULL) || (pPlayer == bot))
			continue;
 
		// skip this player if not alive (i.e. dead or dying)
		if (pPlayer->pev->deadflag != DEAD_NO)
			continue;

		// skip players that are in botcam mode...
		if (pPlayer->pev->effects & EF_NODRAW)
			continue;
/*
		// skip the teammates... This is commented out because its not work.
		if (bot->pev->team == pPlayer->pev->team)
			continue;*/
/*
		// skip the teammates... This is commented out because its not work.
		if (g_pGameRules->GetTeamID(bot) == g_pGameRules->GetTeamID(pPlayer))
			continue;*/
		// This too its not work.
		if (UTIL_TeamsMatch(bot->TeamID(), pPlayer->TeamID()))
			continue;

		if (pPlayer != NULL && pPlayer->pev)
			Dist1 = (bot->pev->origin - pPlayer->pev->origin).Length();

			if ((bot->pev->origin - pPlayer->pev->origin).Length() < closest1) 
			{
		    	closest1 = (bot->pev->origin - pPlayer->pev->origin).Length();
				nearestenemy = pPlayer;
			}
	} //This will find the nearest enemy

	if (nearestenemy != NULL) 
	{
		bot->enemy = nearestenemy;
	} //If we found someone, set them as our enemy.
}

I know that SoW is closed source but if can help me I will be very happy.

The coders of this mod may use their own technique for storing the players' team (such as in a new variable in their private data). Just ask them to write into pev->team like well-educated persons

OK. So the teams are defined in this way:
pPlayer->m_iTeam. I must set this to spawn the bot correct.
So I tryed this:

if (bot->m_iTeam == pPlayer->m_iTeam)
	continue;

But still its not working. I don't have more ideas.

In that case, it's your bots that don't fill their team number correctly, heh !
