Sys_Get_All_Visible_Space_Objects_In_System |
Hey Everyone,
Does Sys_Get_All_Visible_Space_Objects_In_System return only space objects visible by sensors, or does it include all items that are visible in system such as planets that are no longer in range of radar?
I'm looking for a function that only returns items within the radar range, and I dont see any from the Scripting Document.
Thanks

It makes a list of all the objects that an Empire can see (ie can be currently seen) in a given system.

So even if not in sensor range .... thats what I thought, Thanks Kwok

Thank you. You sucessfully deformed the whole website layout with your one-word subject title.

That's not quite what I said - things that "currently" can be seen, which would mean what is in sensor range and sight level. However, the AI will be able to remember if a planet not in sensor range belongs to another empire etc.

What exactly is sight level. And how does the AI remember that a planet not in sensor range belongs to another empire. And how do I access that memory?
Thanks Kwok.

Re: Sys_Get_All_Visible_Space_Objects_In_System
Sensors have a sight range (distance they can see) and a sight level (ability to see in obscuring sectors or to detect cloaked ships).
The AI knows if a planet belongs to another as long as the planet itself has been discovered at some point (since planets are remembered from memory). This is because the script accesses who is the owner of this object - which extends beyond any game play sight level etc. There is no storage of this information.

Re: Sys_Get_All_Visible Space_Objects_In_System
ok fair enough since the program already know who owns the planet. So I could use Sys_Get_Space_Object_Owner with planets the AI has already seen to determine if the there are still enemy colonies on those planets.
hmmmmm
But if I did that it would automatically learn when the enemy colonizes planets, even though it never actually saw those planets colonized.
So I'm going to have to log planets that the computer sees with enemy colonies and then only check those. This is pretty much the path I was going down anyways. Thanks Kwok.

If this is only whats visible in sensor range, or there is a function to check only whats in sensor range, I may be able to give the AI a memory.
