For more information see here Bug Report Template Build: 4133 Mode: Multiplayer Mode:Survival SERVER NAME: SEED-ID: If applicable: MODIFIED PLAYFIELDS:Yes Reproducibility:Always Severity:Major Type: POI/faction Summary: Zirax POIs will not attack drones with turrets under any circumstances. Will still attack OPVs and players however. Description:I've been having this issue ever since the patch although I isolated it to just the Zirax faction only (no other factions have this issue). I have tried a variety of different drone/faction/turret combinations, but all the same, zirax POIs will not attack drones, period. Tried copying vanilla faction logic back in, same issue. Turret and Drones are vanilla too (using player turrets). Update: It should be noted that drones are PDA spawned under different factions, but they all are mostly treated the same now, as of 12/24 Used Turrets (BA) -Cannon -Plasma -Pulse laser Drones -SmallSlow01Cannon -BaseAttackSmallMinigun -DroneSlow01Minigun Factions test: Zirax v Alien - fail Zirax v Polaris - fail Zirax v Pirates - fail Polaris v Alien - pass Polaris v Pirates - pass Player faction (if hostile) works against alien 100% of the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1) Have a Zirax POI with NPC Admin core, and turrets mentioned 2) Ensuring the turrets are on and working, spawn drones of various types 3) drones are not targeted by turrets 4) Spawn OPV that's hostile to zirax, they should attack it 5) As a player, be hostile to zirax, they will shoot you Screenshots, Crash Logs, any other Relevant Information or Download links:
Additional info: 1. Zirax OPVs will behave same as bases, will not engage drones *or* other OPVs even. 2. if a zirax opv is given an attack object that is hostile, it will default to a poi patrol instead. In some cases it just wanders somewhere else entirely.
Any estimate of when this bug will be corrected? It was submitted some time ago, and my scenario is dependent on NPC attack functionality actually working...
Update with workaround: Making a brand new custom static NPC faction as a copy of Alien unrelated to vanilla factions seems to be working fine. It must be something related to the old factions.
