[mod idea+work help] Hive behavior

Anyone got any ideas for the criteria for an asteroid? I have "t:asteroid; tN"
I've also tried n+t:asteroid;, nt:asteroid;, nT:asteroid; n+T:Asteroid; T:Asteroid; N (this is what is in Encounters.xml for Ferians) and T:asteroid; tN. It always returns nil.

"tN +asteroid" should return the nearest station like object with "asteroid" in the attributes.

Did you read the wiki page on the criteria? It is actually quite simple.

I did. Actually I managed to get it by using enumWhile to find "t" as a list then check it for (objHasAttribute "asteroid") My code as it is right now (I'm still working on it a lot) is here:http://paste.neurohack.com/view/YJhEu/
I know I have a lot of roundabout code, but somehow it works.

Woah.. this would be really cool.

I think it needs to be applied to Dwargs and Ferians.

Thanks.

It's not quite done yet. I still have some more to fix, such as ships escorting cannibals, then being eaten. I also want to get the ships to develop better/worse armor like their armor.

Thanks for all your help. I uploaded it to Xelerus today: http://xelerus.de/index.php?s=mod&id=901

Glad to see it made it... Sounds like a nasty bugger :D

I did find one bug though, which is that they go to shipwrecks and station wrecks as well as asteroids, but I think I fixed that. I had my code to find an asteroid, then for some reason I reset the asteroid as any station in the system. I also need to increase the swarm range and slow down everything because they aren't swarming as much as I want.
