Starmade | Enable/Disable all AI only works for last chain
Closed, FinishedPublic
Actions

Description

The enable/disable all AI in the structure menu only enables (and sets the type to turret) for the last chain on a turret axis.
This works for most applications but turrets docked on turrets would not enable properly.

Setting the type also only works for turrets, its impossible to activate drones via the structure menu (still possible via logic)

Possible solution:

  • Enable AI for all entities that have a bobby AI module on them, this includes all - types of docks: turret/rail basic/rotator/...
  • Do not change the AI 'type' of those entities

What happens:

  • activate all turret AI: all turret axis docks get their AI enabled, type switches to turret.
  • activate all docked AI: all rotator/rail basic docks get their AI enabled, type switches to turret (in most cases, not always...). This should always be ship if it has to switch.

I'm not sure but why does type need to be forced? Don't change it and "activate all turret AI" enables all AI for the turret type and "activate all docked AI" would do that for the ship type. In both cases the entity would need to have a bobby AI module. Else you enable AI on entities you don't want to, like elevators, docked ships, decorative parts (radar dishes).

If these get undocked (during combat for example), you'll end up with an elevator trying to attack your enemy not to mention that this mechanic completely makes the bobby AI useless. Since you can enable AI on entities without those without a problem.
