No (player) Friendly Fire

Description
**UPDATE**: As of 1.1.xxx version of the game, AI will no longer cause damage to each other. They also can't harm the player (this has been the case for a long time). This mod still prevents players causing damage to other players or AI lancemates.

Prevents blue on blue damage for friendly mechs. Other units are unaffected.

Several other mods implement this feature. Highly suggest having this mod load first so other mods don't break.

Phrasing BigTimeGamer... lmao
But no, I really think that it should be a toggable option in Vanilla.

one mod that should just be how the game works normally, no more getting backshots from my own kingcrab
10/10 should be how the game works by default

I need my AI teammates to not core each other out from behind... does this mod still does that?

Been testing it, it has worked so far

Ok good deal

I haven't updated it, but it probably still works<shrug>. It's mostly redundant since AI can't hurt players, so it really just stops players from killing AI mechs, or coop buddies, I guess.

Safe to assume this mod is dead now?

does it still work?

Brilliant mod, thanks a lot.
The friendly AI can be so bloody irritating sometimes!
I've not shouted as much profanity for a while as I have whilst playing this. Friendly AI haven't got a clue most of the time. It's like they've over indulged on stupid pills before a mission. But then, the enemy AI seem to be commanded by Skynet, because they never miss a beat.

One time, whilst using the cockpit view and zoomed in and shooting an enemy, a friendly mech comes walking right across my line of fire as if they're strolling to a picnic, then getting themselves pebble dashed by autocannon rounds and laser fire. Morons! 🤬
Some of the worst friendly AI I've come across, and I've played some right doozies over the years...

This helps greatly with that, because now I don't have to restart a mission or have a hefty bill to pay at the end because I've accidentally done more damage to a lance mech than the enemy has :steamfacepalm:

@Dken Yep, the description for those weapons specifically state their AoE damage is not calculated as friendly fire. Be very careful where you aim.
