[Split] Convoys OXP

[cbr]

hmm, using

ai_type="oolite-traderAI.plist"; instead of "oolite-traderAI.js"

seem to be working somehow

[cbr]

If i use the plist reference in the shipdata.plist i can give ship a custom ai.

The following code is an edit of the escortai.plist where i removed all references to
interceptAI ( the interceptAI is the AI i see the ships getting when i attack the convoy.

Allthough i removed all references the escorts still go to interceptai ( and leave the formation )

What do i not see?

I guess this line here:

Code: Select all

"GROUP_ATTACK_TARGET" = (setTargetToFoundTarget);

The escort gets the message from the mother after it has sent an

Code: Select all

"ATTACKED" = ("messageMother: ATTACKED", "messageMother: ESCORT_ATTACKED");

to it... Maybe? It's been a while...

EDIT: I'm not quite sure, there are a few more instances of

Code: Select all

setTargetToPrimaryAggressor

as well, could be that this triggers the general ai to change to interceptai.plist?

[cbr]

"GROUP_ATTACK_TARGET" = (setTargetToFoundTarget);

alas this pure anaconda convoy still attacked me after i attacked the leader ( i know this sounds o.k. but what i am
trying to achieve is that part of convoy formation stays in formation )
