Finding out what a monster is attacking

[arunraja-hub]

Question:
How can I find out what a monster is currently attacking in an ACS script?
My goal is to determine if the monsters are infighting and do something if they are, like open a door.

Thanks!

I have not tested this, but you could use CheckActorState to check which monsters are in the "firing" state. This is commonly named "Missile", like with e.g. Imp. Another possible attack state is "Melee".

Sorry what I meant was which actors were getting attacked by a monster. If there are monsters A,B and C and A is attacking, I want to know which of the other 2, B and/or C, are getting attacked

You could track actors' health (APROP_Health) with GetActorProperty and track when they change. Alas, this does not tell who was attacking them, and I have not been able to find a way to specifically hook for "actor X attacked Y with Z damage" type of thing :/

Hey,

I'm closing this issue as it appears that the original question was answered :)
