Requesting TargetAcquired event handler that triggers every time when group receives a new target. These targets would be same as the targets acquired by the nearTargets command.
The new EH would help with performance impact since you don't need to poll nearTargets all the time
The new EH could look like this:
addEventHandler ["TargetAcquired",
{
params ["_group", "_targetUnit"];
}];Newtarget is not feasible.
Target is already detected before its known. NewTarget triggers, while nearTargets still returns empty list.
Then when unit becomes known, it appears in nearTargets, but NewTarget wouldn't trigger, because the target has already been in the list, it was just updated. And for that we already have KnowsAboutChanged.
Looks like a won't do.
ok but Im unsure if i can achieve same affect with those EHs than what I'm doing now.
What I do now is that I check targets using the nearTargets command and if one of those targets meet required condition i call forgetTarget on that and then the target is no longer listed by nearTargets.
this works but its bit slow because I have to do few loops to get it working, which is why this new EH would be handy
I tried with the two EHs but this code did not prevent the tigris from shooting my pawnee:
this addEventHandler ["KnowsAboutChanged",
{
params ["_group", "_targetUnit", "_newKnowsAbout", "_oldKnowsAbout"];
systemchat format ["knows changed %1 %2", _group, time];
_group forgetTarget _targetUnit;
}];
this addEventHandler ["EnemyDetected",
{
params ["_group", "_newTarget"];
systemchat format ["EnemyDetected %1 %2", _group, time];
_group forgetTarget _newTarget;
}];AFAIK forgetTarget is only temporary - aka when the enemy is still within view/distance/can be noticed again, the enemy will become known again
so for permanent you would need the said ignoreTarget or similar
