How to define the current playing side without a number?!

Post by zengetsu88 »

Okay basically, how can I define in an event (FOR MULTIPLAYER HUMAN VS HUMAN) the current playing side so that I can mark it in the "side=" stuff that are under half of my tags. I cannot just designate team 1 and 2, because I don't know if it is team 1 or 2 who is playing or if they are even going to use the particular pieces of code.

So how can I generically define the current playing user as a 'side=' ... ?

This is pissing me off and I need to figure this out because so many of my creations are effected by it.
my logic is sound

the variable "$side_number" is stored at the beginning of each turn as the current side.

so "side=$side_number" does just what you're saying.
