[Defconapi] controlling fighters

[spooq]

Hi guys, thanks for the response.

I'm also away from my computer, but I'll send some sample code when I
can, should be about 24 hours from now. I did try using
SetMovementTarget() and SetLandingTarget(), but the fighters just went
to their initial target then returned to base. Pretty sure the target
location was within the fuel range, I was just testing things out with
a single AI in the game. At first I thought I had to change the
status, but for fighters there is only attack mode anyway.

Robin, are you still actively developing the API, or are you more in
bug-fixing mode now? Thanks for fixing the issues with the bot being
initialised twice.

I'm playing with the whiteboard functions, for example drawing a
Veronoi diagram of all the cities (pointless because GetDistance()
allows easy implementation of GetNearest(), I know, but it looks
cool). How expensive are these functions in a real-world networked
game? Would drawing lines that flash every second or two wreck the
connection?

Thanks,
Luke
