Weaponmine Attacking Pilot?

[General BlackDragon]

Been a while since I asked for help...

I need a way to make a weaponmine attack a pilot. (without altering pilot, only thing in pilot is "canInteract = 1" aside from that, its the same.

Help?

[GSH]

The general problem is that pilots are "craft" in the object hierarchy, but calling pPerson->IsCraft() returns false. This is so that most of the code can skip them, because that was the desired behavior during BZ2 development.

The sav class specifically tries to attack pilots.  Actually, I'm not sure if its the sav class or the ai class that does that.  I think it also had some sort of pilot killing field too, not sure if thats adjustable.  If it that doesn't work, if possible, use a turret instead.

Could you provide more info on the situation that this is being used for?

[General BlackDragon]

Would it be "easy" to add this ability to pb4? I need a way to make them attack pilots

[Red Devil]

Just add a [CraftClass] section to the pilot ODF.  That's what I do anyways.  Works great.

[Zero Angel]

Yep, its the SAV AI that attacks pilots. It also tries to position itself over the pilot and emit a a damage field which kills the pilot.

Also, GechProcess (used in walkers) will try to attack pilots if it sees them. It just doesnt give them top priority.

[General BlackDragon]

your all noobs!

This is what happens when you give a Weaponmine an ainame.

simply having [craftclass] in the pilot odf didn't make a weaponmine attack it.

[BNG Da BZ Fool]

What about using the Hadean flare (I think) mine which emits 2 projectiles that seem to chase after enemy targets. Don't know if it will target a pilot though, but with your level of knowledge you should be able to modify the ODF to suit your needs GBD.

[Red Devil]

Tried increasing signatures?

canTarget = 1?

Wont work, the object in question is designed to be a damage field for hilly lava.

The only reason I'm not using flaremine is because A: it doesnt have a red "flash" when it hurts you, and B: It doesnt have a teamfilter, so it kills powerups within the field.

[mrtwosheds]

Im sure you can set damage on for more than one level of water/lava in the console, its just the waterfog that only works on one level.

[General BlackDragon]

There is no Water.

This is BZ1 map. No water.
