Changing Teams During Game

[karstentb]

I currently have a nice little team game going, but my AI teammates are annoying the heck out of me by signing peace treaties I'd rather not agree to. I'd rather go it alone.

I have some experience with PHP & Javascript, but can't quite get the hang of Lua's tables and making changes using FireTumer. How might one (namely, me) go about changing Teams mid-game?

Many thanks.

There is no LUA hook to setTeam(), therefore you can't do this without modifying the DLL.

Thanks! The fact that it is impossible to do in Lua makes me feel better about not being able to figure out how.

Well, there is that:

	local team = Teams[ pPlayer1:GetTeam() ]
	team:AddTeam( pPlayer2:GetTeam() )

I'm using it in the WWII mod to create an alliance after some turns, but I've actually not tested it to split civilizations from a common team.
