Take That, Damn Wols

Lito

If someone could clarify how an oc determine's which target to hit (besides the obvious 'if you shoot at it, it'll shoot at you') it wolud be helpful.

anyways, last hive, 3 digit res, and the aliens have WoL upon WoL upon WoL.

the comm simply placed about 10 commchairs inside the hive, and the ocs began to shoot at the commchairs, allowing us to freely build u pphasegates, tf, turrets and seige.

needless the say, the WoLs fell like flies.

They have a detection range, they will fire at the first hostile detected within that range (and los) untill it dies or leaves los (note once it starts fireing you have to leave los not range), in wich case it will go for the next (i think proximity is used when switching targets, not sure). If you fire at it, it will fire back regardless of range, so long as it is not previously occupied.

i think they're fixing oc targeting in 3.0.

I've fired at an offence chamber before well out of its range and it never fired back at me.....

Yeah, I think they just fire at whatever is in the line of sight, and then if more than one, whoever was there first. I sure do hope they fix the OC code in 3.0... cause' we all know how much of a threat those command chairs are <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->. Would be nice if the OCs would change fire to structure threatening lifeforms. <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'><!--endemo-->
