Deconstruct entities from another force?

[pulsereaction]

Hey friendos, I've looked through the force API and couldn't find anything related to this. Is there a way to set one force to be able to have its entities marked for deconstruction by another one?

You can make your own selection tool and via the script change the force for all selected entities, than set as marked to deconstruction.

Or don't change the force.

Or drop the loot from destroyed entity.

Unfortunately entity deconstruction only works with the same force or neutral force.

*only works with the same force or entities without force. You can't deconstruct e.g. a neutral force transport-belt either.
