A long wanted feature by scripters, and a feature that has seen many different implementations in the past. LU includes [SIGNAL_TARGETED] (since version 1.3.0)
[SIGNAL_TARGETED] functions the same way as standard game signals and can be registered as both a global signal, and a local signal. The signal itself has a 3 second internal re-fire delay, meaning if a fleet of 100 ships target a single ship at the same time, only one signal will fire rather then 100.
The signal is fired when ‘!fight.attack.object’ is called, any script that provides a custom fight script that does not reference the standard ‘!fight.attack.object’ will not fire the signal unless modified to do so.
examples:
[THIS]->add secondary signal: signal=[SIGNAL_TARGETED], script='my.signal.targeted', prio=0, name='my.signal.targeted'global secondary signal map: add signal=[SIGNAL_TARGETED] race=null class=[Ship] script='my.global.signal.targeted' prio=0 name='my.global.signal.targeted'
Supported Objects:
- Ship (of any kind)
- Station (of any kind)
