team[n]
Type: Team
The eight teams that can exist in a match can be accessed directly via
team[n]
, where n is a number between
0 and 7, inclusive.
Typically, in the first round of a match, the team indices will be
consistent: team[0]
is Red Team, the first team in the
list; team[1]
is Blue Team, the second team in the list;
and so on. However, you may be aware that teams commonly switch sides
and roles with every round. This happens at the engine level: the game
engine silently remaps the team indices so that Red Team and Blue Team
switch places: Red Team becomes team[1]
and Blue Team
becomes team[0]
.
There's also an additional complication: when editing the settings for each team, the "initial designator" can be changed. This changes what index the team will have in the first round.
The full behavior of this system is not understood; for example, it is not clear whether or how Teams 3 and up are swapped between rounds.
These values are read-only.
