How would i make an enemy attack a structure?

Is there a cog to use for doing that? I'm planning on having the enemy attack a shield generator...

You can do it in a scripted way such as having the character appear to attack the structure by playing a key when the player crosses an adjoin, enters a sector, etc. If the structure (or part of it) were a 3do, you could then after a specified time have the 3do replaced by a different "damaged" 3do.

Of course, if you want the character to really attack it, you'll have to monkey with the AI, which could be a considerable task. I've never seen it done.

AISetFireTarget(Enemy, victim);
that will make your enemy fire at "victim"
i assume untill it is destroyed...not sure though, if not you would want to put it in a pulse or somthing

AISetFireTarget(Enemy, victim);

make your own. like so:
Code: 
symbols
thing enemy
thing target
message startup
end
code
startup:
AISetFireTarget( enemy, victim );
return;
end


replace startup in both cases with the message of your choice. I think the syntax is correct, but I havent cogged in a while so it might need some adjustments... [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif]

i gotta try that. I figured out how to make the enemy friendly, kindof, it doesn't actually 'die' though. see the main editing forum to see if you can help me there.
