GenAI.BestShootTargetFromCurrentPosition

[skullywag]

Anyone know how i can make this muther work for non hostiles:

Code Select Expand

return GenAI.BestShootTargetFromCurrentPosition(base.Position, searcher, new Predicate<Thing>(this.IsValidTarget), this.gun.PrimaryVerb.verbProps.range, this.gun.PrimaryVerb.verbProps.minRange, !this.gun.PrimaryVerb.verbProps.projectileDef.projectile.flyOverhead, !this.gun.PrimaryVerb.verbProps.ai_IsIncendiary);

The this.isVallidTarget only fires when the pawn its targetting is a hostile, but I dont seem to be able to find where it wants a hostile before firing that. (its in the turretgun code btw).

Anyone have any clues?

or alternatively anyone know a good way to scan for targets using another way?

You could use something like:

Code Select Expand

IEnumerable<Thing> potentialTargets = Find.ListerThings.ThingsOfDef(ThingDef.Named("Human")).Where(testedThing => testedThing.HostileTo(Faction.OfColony));

Not tested though...

I was looking at something like that earlier but the GenAI stuff handles picking a target so much nicer and now I just want to know where in the code it implicitly states it has to be hostile....its bugging me now lol!

Im banging my head against a brick wall here, this just doesnt seem possible but I cannot find where it states it has to be hostile target....

If you find it, you could essentially create an auto hunter turret that targets any animals in ints area.

Code Select Expand

Bullet_Sponge PSpark = (Bullet_Sponge)GenSpawn.Spawn(ThingDef.Named("PlasmaSpark"), base.Position); // Creating a bullet

PSpark.Launch(this, fire.Position); //Launching that bullet

Did use that in afs device in clutter for auto fire fighting

Isn't it a little bit cheated?
Okay you can spawn bullets and tell them where to go but getting the AI to do it autonomously would be great.

Well i didnt find any other way that dont require to make alot of pawns classes rewriting
