hi,

I made 2 enemy groups.
Their entities scanning with c_scan for the next one of the other group to attack.

note: .....
(besides I store all fighting entities in an array, so the c_scan function runs only once a time for performance reasons)

.... lets go ahead


C_SCAN delivers the entity standing next to the searcher even if it is a friendly entity.

#1:
When I set ENABLE_SCAN only for one group then they got found by the others but cannot self find the others.

#2:
IGNORE_YOU can only be set to 1 unit, what if 2 or more friends staying between the searcher and the next enemy ?

Now how to find only the enemy units with c_scan and ifnore all friendly ones?




greetings,
maik

#define Team, skill50;

if team = 1 the entity is friendly
if team = 2 the entity is agressive

Like this it works

Just scan and check what his skill is

Hope it helps u on the way

hi,

I dont think that this works like I needs.

What if 2 or more "friendly" units standing between the Searcher and the enemy ?

c_scan delivers the "friendly" as next closest entity here.

I can set the "you" pointer to this entity and c_scan(...with IGNORE_YOU) again but there is another friendly one I have to ignore.
How to do that ?

As an workaround I could do the following:

1. If a unit of group-A want "c_scanning" I have to go through the array of group-A and reset(ENABLE_SCAN) for
each unit.

2. Now the unit can scan the area without getting a friendly one.

3. After that set(ENABLE_SCAN) is to do for the whole group again to gettn detected by the other group.

This is to make for the other group too if a member of them scan the area.

Yes I know the logic could be packed in a nice, litte function, but I cant believe that this is the right way.
There must be an easier way for that.

nope thats the only way unles you want to use ignore_flag2
but you still would have a problem for the other teams

i once requested for ingore_list but that was to usles and havy

hi,



yes your'e right.

Beside that I thought that IGNORE_FLAG2 doesnt work in c_scan only in in c_trace (in manual c_scan doesnt list IGNORE_FLAG2).
