As the sandbox broadcasts events to every sandbox object that registers a callback function, we'll create an agent communication system that provides commonly used functionalities such as event type registration and event filtering.
So far, our agents fend for themselves in a free-for-all style; now, we'll assign teams to utilize team-based communication as well as the beginnings of cooperative strategy. By changing the initialization of the agent, we can assign the agent to either team1 or team2 and assign a different character model accordingly:

end
