eventAttacked()

Throttled event

The event is "throttled", which means that it won't be called for every single attack. If I understand the C++ source code correctly, Warzone has it's own clustering algorithm that groups your droids and structures in to clusters. When something in a cluster is attacked, the event will be triggered but then there is a short delay before any attacks on that cluster will trigger the event again.

Overview

This event is called when your droids or structures are attacked.

This event is useful for retreating damaged units, or repairing damage buildings, after an enemy attacks them.

Availability

Warzone 3.1 Beta 1 and above.

Syntax

function eventAttacked(victim, attacker) {
  // do stuff
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Mandatory	Description	Game version
victim	Game object		Which of my things did the enemy attack? Either a Structure object or a Droid object.	3.1 Beta 1
attacker	Game object		What attacked me? Either a Structure object or a Droid object.	3.1 Beta 1

Return value

Warzone does not process the event handler's return value.

Example

Work out who our main aggressors are

// make an array to count attacks by each player
var attackers = new Array(playerData.length);
// initialise values in array
for (var i=0;i<attackers.length;i++) attackers[i] = 0;
// define a numeric sort function
attackers.numSort = function(a,b) {
  return a-b;
}
 
// now monitor attacks
function eventAttacked(victim,attacker) {
  attackers[attacker.player] += 1;
  attackers.sort(attackers.numSort);
 
  console("The main aggressor is currently player #"+attackers[0]);
}
