Switchable Collision

Sorry to make a post so soon after another one...

Is there a way to have an object pass through or collide into other objects based on a variable? For instance, I am working on a squad based game and I want the squad members to be able to pass through each other, but not through anyone else. I also want my projectiles fired from that squads players to pass through other players of that squad, but hit everything else.

I have been doing a lot of digging, and I can't seem to figure out a way to do this from script.

Thanks all,
-Jeff

    I don't think you can withthout modification, but this modification would be pretty simple. Just add a new field to the apprpriate class and then in the collision routine drop out if its set.
