noted. thanks!

I can see this mod becoming a mandatory install for sure.

@Trollsama
1st: No, if you manually set a target, this doesn't run.
2nd: Whenever auto targeting takes over. (When target dies, object destroyed, etc)
3rd: Target will not change unless current target is no longer valid while still drafted.

Does target acquisition overrule manual target instruction? and if so how quickly?

Basically I like the idea of the mod, but im curious if i tell my people to focus the RPG in the back, are they going to stay targeting on that pawn till it dies, or will they swap targets the first time someone moves?

One of the first mods I install when I am starting a run on a new patch. An essential part of making combat work. Good work and thank you.

brilliant!

This is a core feature for me. Thanks for keeping it updated! <3

GOOD. THANKS.

NICE ONE! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

excellent

How BOUT NOW?! (1.6 update)

To be fair it doesn't need to be CE compatible. CE has its own approach to gameplay and combat.

Thank you for this mod btw.

I would l,ike to reccomend a change. Instead of looking for closest target, compare accuracies. someone in cover 5 tiles away is less accurate for a rifle than someone 20 tiles away running in the open

This mod has been in my list for so long, but now I'm starting a new run with CAI 5000 - Advanced AI + Fog of War and RimPy says it is incompatible with this mod. Not sure if I will miss it or not. I hope it hasn't altered my default behaviour lol.

Although I have been using this mod, the performance problems are indeed more obvious when a lot of people are fighting.

Thank you so much!

After not having this mod with CE I've realized it DOES work with CE. The targeting without this mod is really obvious. It might not be compatible but they do function together I guess.

Does this conflict with Yayo's Combat 3 (Continued) or is it redundant?

Is it normal that my FPS drops to hell when multiple enemies are downed between my pawn and the next closest enemy. I don't know how many checks per second this mod does but i'am almost sure that it goes thought every alive and downed enemy.
I can confirm that the fps drop is related to this mod and to downed enemies.

My guess is every time the game runs a check for the closest enemy, it targets the downed enemy, then skips it and goes to the next, skips it again if its downed and goes to the next and so on until it finds a moving enemy and because the pawn doesn't stick to the enemy like in vanilla, but switches to the closest, there must be at least 1 check per second and all the skips are the fps killer.

"Instead of "closest target" I would like "highest probability of hit" because weapons don't all get better with closer range. - AngleWyrm"

You might be onto something here.

Funny thing Giggles, it says this mod isn't Multiplayer compatible too but it's listed in many mod lists I was looking at for Multiplayer

Why isn't this compatible? Just did a play through with both CE and this mod and ran into ZERO problems.

Instead of "closest target" I would like "highest probability of hit" because weapons don't all get better with closer range.

CE?

Can you make that if you choose target by yourself - it won't reset to closest one?

@Airdog20 The issue isn't that raiders don't come, it's that they show up and ignore your people to go punch walls and just sit there while getting shot

those who are having complains about raiders not coming to attack them its simple, get a mod that forces raids like winston waves, this mod works well with it because you know when to set up and watch how the mod works in target requisitioning pathing. sorry if im throwing out a mod in another mod btw

ok so i dont have this mod in yet but ive had the same issues some of you all are having which is conclusive to me that it isnt this mods fault so all of you can literally stop commenting here that raiders arent attacking your base. 100% this mode isnt responsible for raiders not attacking. that just happens.

Thank you!

@kocel @shortbear
if you have vanilla expanded accessories, that also caused an issue with raiders not attacking colonists. I removed it, and my pawns are throughy being murdered now.
So not entirely this mods fault.

People have been posting about problems with raiders and pawns and combat on all sorts of mods. I think it might actually be a vanilla issue.

I'll try to debug this over the weekend, It may be that it's just time to let this mod go, if too much has changed. I'm by no means an expert at coding, but i'll give it an honest go.

Well, it'd be one thing if it was plain raiders, but I've had the raid where they post up and wait to attack refuse to attack my pawn as she was shooting them point blank with a shortbow.

Again, it's not producing errors so it's hard to prove it's this, but with a few others having the same issue it might be worth looking into.

Almost certain this is the one causing issues with raiders not targeting colonists. Was having issues with my animals ignoring raiders mid fight too. I removed this mod and everything is back to normal.
Something must have changed in the base game code that's silently causing issues with this.

That is because they have the same AI.

dont think so ignis since mechanoids are also doing it even when my pawn is shooting them. Not saying its this mod but im having the same werid behaviour

I'm pretty sure it is a vanilla behavior. After all, they are here only to trash your stuff and set your back.

Anyone have a problem with raiders not targetting colonist pawns properly? I'm having them prioritize structures above colonists and refuse to aggro when shot. This is the only mod I have that could change AI behavior, so I figure'd I check. No error messages go along with it that I've seen.

@Lef, I have same problem with all pawns than are different from baseliner xenotype, watching for target... while targets are in range and line of sight
I've disabled mod, but still same

What is the target? If insects, it is vanilla a bug with dormant insects.

i have a issue with some pawn not targetting at all when drafted , i nned to make the m target manualy , i wonder if this can be caused by this mod , that s the only mod i have that seem to impact how fight works

Thx You are the man :)

Hey SOMR, thanks, i'll push an update then!

Tested and working in 1.4 unstable branch

Is this mod relevant anymore? I haven't completely tested without it but I'm trying to clean up my mod list and want everyone's opinion on this.

Does this affect enemies?

Any chance you can make it so that they'll consider pawns that are fleeing due to "Enemy Self Preservation"? No use shooting at a dude who's broken and running rather than the one still coming at you!

will this mod respect the weapon accuracy to prefer a target thats in the area with highest accuracy over others or strictly always the closest?

@ignis isnt the mods fault have the same problem sometimes without this

@Jellypowered

Basically a poke for the comment below mine

Any chance you could lower the priority on things that can't attack? A pawn keeps trying to shoot an insectoid hive that's closer to them, instead of the swarm that's in range and approaching them
