ratter: smarter drones deployment

[rukoche]

Hi everyone, I'm ratting in a Dominix for a couple of days now.

At first it was really painful for my drones, to the point when I stuck in a loop of deploying and immediately returning my drones because of their poor condition.

Then I made this addition in obj_Combat.iss

variable index:entity mytgtIndex 
         
EVE:DoGetEntities[mytgtIndex, CategoryID, CATEGORYID_ENTITY]
    		
if ${Me.GetTargetedBy} >= ${mytgtIndex.Used}
{
  Ship.Drones:LaunchAll[]
}

now its pretty much ok, but still some rats can target me and then aggro my drones. Plus I have a problem with special rats like transport ships which don't target me at all.

I played around with this script from Snippets & Examples thread. But it can echo out up to 200 attackers with NULL name for some reason and I didn't managed to filter them out.

So if anyone can help me with this I'll be very thankful.

BTW why GetJammers and GetAttackers members aren't in ISXEVE wiki?

Where in obj_Combat.iss did you put this?

well.. where Ship.Drones:LaunchAll[] is

I have mine actively chasing rats as long as they are in range regardless of who the rats target. The only downfall is when/if concord comes, they want to target concord.
Thankfully i have the widow popup that says "are you sure" so it has never attack concord but...... whew.

Work in progress.


Whoops, My edit is for the miner only. Sorry.
