Fighter

Fights for a Unit or a Building (a tower): it attacks enemies that come within its unit’s sight on its own, and whatever it’s told to. Up close it hits straight away; with a Projectile it fires one that flies to the target and hurts it on arrival.

Part of the Strategy module: Real-time strategy: factions, units that walk around obstacles and fight, workers that gather and build, buildings that train units, fog of war, the computer playing a side, the player’s controls and HUD, playing online team against team, and the Strategy template.

Properties

Each is listed as its key in the scene file and the MCP tools, then its kind of value, its default and what it does.

While the game runs

Not saved with the scene; scripts read them, and entity_get shows them as live while the game plays.

• target: an entity: its name, id or path. The enemy it’s hitting, if any.

Scripts use it as Fighter: its methods, events and values that aren’t saved with the scene.
