Variable; ROE - HWRM/KarosGraveyard GitHub Wiki
Description
Rules Of Engagement define a ship's behavior in different situations regarding enemy actions.
Note: HWRM has no such thing as 'tactics' anymore; this concept was split between ROE and Stances (behavior toward enemies vs. formation spacing and multipliers).
There are three ROE:
| Variable Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
OffensiveROE |
0 |
Ships with offensive ROE will immediately try to attack any nearby enemy. What classes as 'nearby' varies from ship to ship. |
DefensiveROE |
1 |
Defensive ROE will make ships retaliate against enemies who attack either themselves or nearby allies. What classes as 'nearby' varies from ship to ship. |
PassiveROE |
2 |
Ships with passive ROE will not attack enemy ships under any circumstance unless directly ordered to do so. |
Examples
SobGroups:
You can interact with a sobgroup's ROE via SobGroup_SetROE and SobGroup_GetROE.
SobGroup_GetROE("my-group"); -- returns 0, 1, or 2 for offensive, defensive, or passive ROE respectively
SobGroup_SetROE("my-group", DefensiveROE); -- sets "my-group"s ROE to defensive
Players:
A player's whole fleet can have their ROE set via Player_SetGlobalROE.
Player_SetGlobalROE(1, OffensiveROE); -- all ships belonging to player 1 are set to offensive
