Basics

A target can be shared between action and condition nodes.
The invert checkbox only inverts the condition and not the result of the entire node. There is no selected enemy (Step 2) therefore "is carrying a resource" and "is not carrying a resource" makes no difference.
The invert checkbox only inverts the condition and not the result of the entire node. Both enemies are selected by the any selector in step 3. Therefore both conditions "is carrying a resource" and "is not carrying a resource" are evaluated valid.

Both condition nodes and action nodes are mainly defined by a target and share almost the same evaluation process:

Step Condition node Action node
1. Get all the entities of the target type.
2. Remove all entities not matching the target filters. If there is not a single entity left the node is considered invalid except for counting conditions that check the target count.
3. Select the best remaining entity according to the target selector. The any and all selectors are special cases where all remaining entities are selected instead.
The all selector can only be used for moving, fleeing, tagging and untagging.
The any selector cannot be used for action nodes.
4. Check the condition on the selected entity. The invert checkbox only inverts this condition and not the result of the entire node. Execute the action on the selected entity.
Any selector: Check if the condition is valid for at least one of the remaining entities. When moving or fleeing the all selector results in moving to or fleeing from the average position[1] of all remaining entities.
All selector: Check if the condition is valid for all of the remaining entities. When tagging or untagging the all selector results in tagging or untagging all remaining entities.
Information.png Condition nodes: Checking the condition is the very last step after filtering and selecting took place.

Target filters

Multiple filters from the same filter category are connected either with OR or with AND between them.

  • If there are separate dots on the left of each filter from the same filter category, the filters are joined with OR within that filter category.
    • Example: In the filter category bot class filters are connected with OR. If the enemy is Assault class OR Machine gun class.
  • If there is a line and a single dot on the left of all filters from the same filter category, the filters are joined with AND within that filter category.
    • Example: In the filter category tag filters are connected with AND. If the enemy is tagged 1 AND not tagged 2.

The different filter categories are always connected with AND between them.

  • Example: The enemy satisfies the bot class filters AND the tag filters.
Yellow: In the filter category bot class filters are connected with OR (indicated by separate dots).
Orange: In the filter category tag filters are connected with AND (indicated by a line and a single dot).
Blue: The different filter categories are always connected with AND between them.

Target selectors

The following target selectors are valid for the different target types. As there is only one entity of the myself target type there is no need of a target selector in this case.

Weakest/strongest and weakest/strongest ratio

If a Sniper has 2700 of 3000 shield remaining (90%) and a Machine gun has 3900 of 5000 shield remaining (78%) weakest shield would select the Sniper (2700 < 3900), weakest shield ratio would select the Machine gun (78% < 90%).

Entity selection process in case of identical attributes

The entity selection process sorts the remaining entities using the following comparison rules and keeps the first one.

Closest Furthest
Closest to me
  1. Closest to self first
  2. In case of equality: Lowest distance from center of the map first.
  3. In case of equality: Lowest distance from horizontal axis first.
  4. In case of equality: Lowest distance from vertical axis first.
  5. In case of equality: Lowest instantiation order first.
Furthest from me
  1. Furthest from self first
  2. In case of equality: Lowest distance from center of the map first.
  3. In case of equality: Lowest distance from horizontal axis first.
  4. In case of equality: Lowest distance from vertical axis first.
  5. In case of equality: Lowest instantiation order first.
Closest to arena borders
  1. Closest to arena borders first
  2. In case of equality: Lowest distance from center of the map first.
  3. In case of equality: Lowest distance from horizontal axis first.
  4. In case of equality: Lowest distance from vertical axis first.
  5. In case of equality: Lowest instantiation order first.
Furthest from arena borders
  1. Furthest from arena borders first
  2. In case of equality: Lowest distance from center of the map first.
  3. In case of equality: Lowest distance from horizontal axis first.
  4. In case of equality: Lowest distance from vertical axis first.
  5. In case of equality: Lowest instantiation order first.
Weakest Strongest
Weakest health
  1. Weakest health first
  2. In case of equality: Weakest health ratio first
  3. In case of equality: Compare like closest to me
