A Quick Question about Targets

[Lone-Wolf]

Hi - I have a quick question:

Is there a way of assessing what a unit's target is and then assigning that object to a variable for use in a script?

Hi!

I never really tried that although perhaps you could try experimenting with the "knowsabout" command. There are values you could assign to knowsabout which determines how much a certain unit knows about another unit.

example would probably go like this:
?friendlygoon1 knowsAbout enemygoon8 > 0.105:busted=true

or in trigger:

condition: friendlygoon1 knowsAbout enemygoon8 > 0.105
on activation: busted = true

0.105 i think is a certain value where a unit knows exactly about the other unit. Try looking it up, i'm not entirely sure. Then you could perhaps experiment to find which value exactly of knowsabout is returned when a unit actually targets another.
In the above example, 'busted' is the variable.
If the above don't work, well, maybe try eventhandlers. but I really don't know much about those...

Cheers!
