Summary
Game Masters can change living players to supported vanilla and modded AI factions without respawning. Keeps the existing character, health and equipment; returns changed players to US after death.
Description
GM Live Faction Switch lets Game Masters change a living player's faction from Edit Properties > Character > Player Faction (This Life).
Switch teams instantly while keeping the same character, position, health and equipment. After a changed non-US player dies, their player team returns to US for the next normal respawn.
Modded faction support
Faction choices use the Game Master catalogue's own names without internal IDs. The list includes visible factions with enabled AI character entries and filters internal helpers and duplicate labels. Bacon Zombies and Project Outbreak have been locally tested together with Creature Melee AI. Other factions use the same compatibility system when loaded in the scenario.
What's new in 1.1.1
- Fixed modded faction assignments being rejected through the normal player-team path.
- Removed internal faction IDs from dropdown names.
- Filtered hidden helpers and catalogue categories without a matching faction.
- Improved checks and private GM feedback when an assignment fails or is overridden.
- Preserved live switching and the return to US after death.
Requirements
Load matching versions on server and clients, together with your chosen faction mods. Requires unrestricted Game Master permission and a scenario containing US with suitable respawn options. No additional faction mods are mandatory dependencies.
Faction membership does not grant zombie abilities or change custom AI targeting and disguise systems. No third-party addon files, faction relationships or playable settings are modified. Test your complete mod combination on the server before using the update in a session.
