As the title says, I'm trying to make a hullmod that forces ships that have it to auto retreat when CR reaches < 30%.

To force the retreat, I was pointed to this code:

Code: java

            boolean retreatDirectly = true;
            ship.setRetreating(true, retreatDirectly);

However, the code below, inside a hullmod class, doesn't seem to make any ship retreat (100% sure all ships that should retreat have the mod).

As you can see, it also does something else apart from forcing a retreat - the code also sets CR to the percentage of HP, down to a minimum of 30% (at which time the ship should forcibly retreat).

Code: java

    @Override
    public void advanceInCombat(ShipAPI ship, float amount) {

    	CombatEngineAPI engine = Global.getCombatEngine();
    	float potentialMaxCR = ship.getHitpoints()/ship.getMaxHitpoints();
    	
    	if(ship.getCurrentCR() > potentialMaxCR) {
    		if(potentialMaxCR >= 0.30) {
        		ship.setCurrentCR(potentialMaxCR);
    		}else {
    			boolean retreatDirectly = true;
	         	ship.setRetreating(true, retreatDirectly);
    		}
    	}]

Just super quick, see:
CombatTaskManagerAPI.orderRetreat()

Would have to dig around the javadoc to figure out how to get at it/what parameters to pass in; I'll see if I have a chance to elaborate a bit later!

Thanks for the quick reply Alex! I actually tried this one before the one above, but with similar results... I'll try them both at the same time next.

-> I also tried them both, but still to no effect. I wonder though, should the command only be executed once to work? Because the code runs every frame at the moment...

Try this, it worked for me.

Code

if (!ship.isRetreating())
	Global.getCombatEngine().getFleetManager(ship.getOwner()).getTaskManager(false).orderRetreat(Global.getCombatEngine().getFleetManager(ship.getOwner()).getDeployedFleetMember(ship), true, true);

Yes, running it every frame seems to mess with it.

You could probably ask Phoenix how he did #2 in this mod.

Since it relies on the hullmod getting down to 20% before it allows the ship to use zero-flux speeds. He might be using something other than a continuous check, but again. Talk to him and ask him.

if (!ship.isRetreating())
	Global.getCombatEngine().getFleetManager(ship.getOwner()).getTaskManager(false).orderRetreat(Global.getCombatEngine().getFleetManager(ship.getOwner()).getDeployedFleetMember(ship), true, true);

This one worked! Thank you very much!

I wonder which part of the chain my code got wrong though... it seems you got the task manager via

Code

ship.getOwner()).getTaskManager(false)

instead of

       

Code

CombatFleetManagerAPI fleetManager = engine.getFleetManager(FleetSide.PLAYER);
    	CombatTaskManagerAPI taskManager = fleetManager.getTaskManager(true);

So maybe that's where the problem was?

[Sinosauropteryx]

I think the only real difference is I put getTaskManager(false) instead of (true). Glad it's working

[creature]

Hmm, the parameter said

Code

 boolean ally

, so I gave it a true, but I guess it should have been false? A bit confusing. 

[Sinosauropteryx]

If I recall, "ally' usually means those allied ships with yellow stat bars, not your own fleet's ships.

[creature]

Ah, I right! I don't usually see them so I forgot they even exist.
