Friend or Foe/AI sendScriptMessage functions
This is a list of all sendScriptMessage
functions that can be used with the AI of a ship.
Contents
$fof_alterDockEscorts
In standard Oolite, escorts will be unlinked from the mothership and assigned a standard docking AI. This will alter the docking AI to the Friend or Foe OXP aware docking AI for the ex-escorts of the calling ship after a dockEscorts
AI command has been issued. Send the message before dockEscorts
is called.
Example:
"AEGIS_IN_DOCKING_RANGE" = ("sendScriptMessage: $fof_alterDockEscorts", dockEscorts);
$fof_checkTargetIsValid
Checks the current target of the calling ship to make sure it is still valid.
Example:
UPDATE = ("pauseAI: 10.0", "sendScriptMessage: $fof_checkTargetIsValid");
TARGET_LOST
is returned to the calling ship AI if the current target is lost or becomes invalid.
$fof_performAttackTarget
This does something similar to a mix between the deployEscorts and groupAttackTarget AI commands.
Example:
"MISSILE_INCOMING" = (setTargetToPrimaryAggressor, "sendScriptMessage: $fof_performAttackTarget");
FOF_ATTACK_TARGET
is returned to the calling ship AI. A selection of ships in the same group as the calling ship will have their target set to the current target and their AI will also receive FOF_ATTACK_TARGET
.
$fof_scanForAttackers
Scan for current ships or players from the past that have attacked the calling ship. Also scan for potential attackers.
Example:
UPDATE = ("pauseAI: 10.0", "sendScriptMessage: $fof_scanForAttackers");
Reacts with an ATTACKERS_FOUND
AI message if there are attackers near the calling ship. Otherwise ATTACKERS_NOT_FOUND
is returned to the calling ship AI.
$fof_scanForCascadeWeapon
Scan for cascade weapons near the calling ship. This will allow versions of Oolite older than v1.77 to react to cascade weapons.
Example:
UPDATE = ("pauseAI: 10.0", "sendScriptMessage: $fof_scanForCascadeWeapon");
Reacts with a CASCADE_WEAPON_FOUND
AI message rather than CASCADE_WEAPON_DETECTED
which is used by Oolite v1.77 and newer.
