Weapon Priorities

from Sins Forums
hi im trying to make a mod that has lots of fighters but all Cap ships can fire them in some way or another. I have most of the mod coming good but i noticed that the weapons dont like to fire at fighters even if i say it can target fighters. Is there anyway to change the weapon targeting priorities in this game that a modding noob (me) could do? Thanks in advance for any help  :)

It's not that we're ignoring you. For me, I'm not sure and was trying to figure it out. I think it might be an AI thing that we cannot touch yet.

Anyone else wanna clarify?

Oh i thought it was just a simple matter... sorry to sound impatient/demanding then. And i did find some code that looks likely while messing around in the gameconstants file:


DamageData
ChanceToHitTargetType:ANTIVERYLIGHT
CAPITALSHIP 1.00000
INTERCEPTOR 0.700000
BOMBER 0.850000
ChanceToHitTargetType:ANTILIGHT
CAPITALSHIP 1.00000
INTERCEPTOR 0.650000
BOMBER 0.75

and


DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:CapitalShip 0.25
DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:VeryLight 1.5
DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:Light 1.0
DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:Medium 0.25
DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:Heavy 0.25
DamagePercentBonus:ANTIVERYLIGHT:VeryHeavy 0.25


of course they go on further... but i didnt want to spam the post. If anyone wants i could post more.
Also am i on the right track? Or is this the completly wrong thing?
