Extra threat

Extra threat

• Now you can adjust the techno's evaluation of the threat posed by the target in more ways. This will help the techno in auto - targeting.
  • When the target poses a threat to the techno, it will receive an additional threat value defined by ExtraThreat.IsThreat.
    • Generally speaking, "Posing a threat" means the target can fire at the techno.
    • Using AlwaysConsideredThreat makes the target always considered to be a threat.
  • When the target is within the techno's range, it will receive an additional threat value defined by ExtraThreat.InRange.
  • When the target is within the techno's range, it will receive an additional threat value equal to ExtraThreatCoefficient.InRangeDistance multiplied by the distance (in cells) from the target to the techno.
    • Only considering in-range is because the vanilla flag TargetDistanceCoefficientDefault only considers outside-range. This flag is complementary to that.
  • The target will receive an additional threat value equal to ExtraThreatCoefficient.Facing multiplied by the difference in facing from the techno's current firing-facing to the target's facing.
    • "Firing-facing" refers to the facing the techno uses to check if it "is already facing the target and can fire". Infantry doesn't check the facing when firing, so this is also invalid for infantry.
    • The unit of facing is the in-game internal numerical scale. A full circle corresponds to 65536.
  • The target will receive an additional threat value equal to ExtraThreatCoefficient.DistanceToLastTarget multiplied by the distance (in cells) from the target to the techno's last target.
    • Each techno will record its current target as the "last target" per frame. This record will be retained for at most 15 frames after the target becomes invalid.
    • If the techno doesn't have a "last target", then this will not take effect.
