How do I make a team system? Similar to super smash brothers

Hi All,

I am making a 4 player couch co-op fighting game. Everything was going great until I got to the win conditions.

Since each player can choose: red team, blue team, or solo.

I am stumped on how to create the win condition....

I feel like arrays will be the answer some how. Just not sure on the logic....

To recap.

Choose character, choose team. Fight.

Players die off.

Now how do I detect which players are victorious?

Note, I am using the Health add-on

scirra.com/store/construct2-behaviours/health-2133

related Player instance variables

Health; collective team health; team choice

possible combinations

Players: 2-4

Teams: Red, Blue, Solo P1, Solo P2, Solo P3, Solo P4

Teams can be:

3v1

2v2

2v1

2 v 1 v 1

1 v 1

1 v 1 v 1

1 v 1 v 1 v 1

As you can see, there are a lot of possible combinations.... so logic is required to sort it all out.

Please advise on the logic :)

Faux code is appreciated.

I consider myself an advanced user.

Loads of ways to do it. I would do it by having 2 global variables and instance variables on the characters for red/blue which you already have. When they pick red add 1 to red global var, or blue add 1 to blue global var. When character dies check their team, compare if its red then subtract 1 from red global var. If red or blue = 0 then the other team wins. You can also use picked count of players with red/blue instance var and use that to compare if greater than 0. The logic applies to any of those combinations given because it's just counting R v R v B or B v B v R, doesn't really matter.
