[0.26] AI ignores "registerFriendEntity"

[Rinart73]

Avorion: 0.26

 

1. Pirate ship is attacking me

2. I'm using "ShipAI(pirateShip):registerFriendEntity(myShipId)"

3. As a result, entity targeter is now green and "ShipAI(pirateShip):isEnemy(myShipId)" returns false.

But pirate is still attacking me.

Is he still attacking you even after setting its AI to Idle and then back to Aggressive?

[Rinart73]

No, it stops.

 

The problem is that when it comes to ShipAI commands like these

setAggressive(var attackCivilShips, var canFinish) 
setFly(vec3 location, float arrivalRadius, var collisionException)

and others, I can't just easilly reset them via "setIdle - setBackToOriginal", because I don't have a way to get their arguments. I don't know if certain ship was set to attack civil ships or not, which coordinates it's flying to etc.

The "attack" order is a very simply-structured order that will attack the target until destroyed, and it's meant to be able to attack allies (for example if you order a ship via the strategy mode to attack an ally for some reason).

 

If you want the attack order to stop attacking a ship because it was set to friendly, you have to stop/cancel the command by setting a new one (which is what happens internally as well). It won't stop by itself.

Yeah I got it.

I'm just trying to prevent AI ships from attacking invincible entities.
