If enemy vehicle placed in editor and player knows about it, even if crew disembarks and vehicle is now empty, it is still detected as enemy for a long time, which can be checked with findNearestEnemy command.
However is vehicle is created on the fly and populated with enemy crew, as soon as crew disembarks, empty vehicle is removed from enemy targets almost immediately (correct functionality)
tank setDir direction player;
tank setVehiclePosition [player modeltoworld [0,30,0], [], 0, "none"];
player reveal [tank, 4];
onEachFrame {
hintsilent format [ "Nearest enemy: %1\nCrew tank: %2", player findNearestEnemy player, count crew tank ];
};
sleep 5;
{
moveout _x; _x setVehiclePosition [player modeltoworld [50,100,0], [], 0, "none"];
} foreach crew tank;
};
The hint will show you that "tank" is detected and is nearest enemy and the crew of the tank is 3
After 5 seconds the crew will be moved out to some 100m away from you and tank, but "tank", while
empty, is still nearest enemy and continues to be one for a long time.
tank = "O_APC_Tracked_02_cannon_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
createVehicleCrew tank;
tank setVehicleVarName "tank";
tank setDir direction player;
tank setVehiclePosition [player modeltoworld [0,30,0], [], 0, "none"];
player reveal [tank, 4];
onEachFrame {
hintsilent format [ "Nearest enemy: %1\nCrew tank: %2", player findNearestEnemy player, count crew tank ];
};
sleep 5;
{
moveout _x; _x setVehiclePosition [player modeltoworld [50,100,0], [], 0, "none"];
} foreach crew tank;
};
As soon as crew disembarks, tank is removed from nearest enemy and after a while, if you point
to disembarked crew, one of the crew becomes nearest enemy.
I believe the reason for the delay is that it should be seen as a viable target while the group alive and could get back in.
One reason the second may not be seen as a threat is that the vehicle wasn't added to the group.
group tank addVehicle Tank;
This may now produce same results as first script all though you don't really say which is your preferred result.
Ah, interesting, this might be it, as if I use leaveVehicle in addition to moving out crew, it gets removed from enemy list straight away.
Of course the problem is still with editor placed disabled vehicle, when it is not dead but cannot be used by the crew, it is still a target.
The problem is what behavior you intend to give at this command.
As written now, you can catch nearest enemies even if distant for several kilometers if your side has a knowAbout on it.
So, there are 2 ways thinking about this command should work:
