Title: SEXP for enemy targeting me
Post by: killface on April 05, 2009, 01:03:22 pm

Hey all,

I'm looking for a SEXP that returns a result when an enemy targets me during a battle.  I'm familiar with the "targeted" SEXP, but that only returns true if the PLAYER targets X, not the other way around.  Any advice? 

Thanks

I'm afraid there's no such SEXP. I suggest to circumvent the problem and use either "set-object facing" combined with "distance" "<" "<value>" (and eventually "add-goal" "ai-chase" "<player>""<priority value>")when you want a given spacecraft to target the player. But that's more a "do" rather than a "when", meaning that you choose when this scripted targeting will occur.

You may also experiment this:

when-argument

(add all enemy spacecraft in the argument list)

<
    get-object-z
     <player>
     <none>
     <argument>
     <argument>
     <argument>

    <minimal targeting distance>


I hope that the relative z coordinates of the player taken from each enemy spacecraft would be useful in determining wheter or not it's targeting it.
