Init code/script for AI to hunt the nearest player

[He'sCalledTheStig 4]

So I found this line somewhere that goes in the init box of the AI vehicle, or the group leader. I want to change it to target the nearest player/playable character instead of "the player".

 

_null = this spawn {
Hunt_players_fnc = {
    _player = "";
    {
        if (isPlayer _x AND alive _x) then {_player = _x};
    } foreach (playableUnits + switchAbleUnits);
    _wp = _this addWaypoint [getPos _player, (50 + (floor(random 70)))];
    _wp setWaypointStatements ["true", "_null = (group this) spawn Hunt_players_fnc;"];
    _wp setWaypointType "SAD";
    _wp setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
    _wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
};

_null = (group _this) spawn Hunt_players_fnc;
};

 

 

 

Keep in mind I'm kind of rarted when it comes to this sort of thing. Thanks.

Try this:

Spoiler

if (isServer) then {
	_null = this spawn {
		Hunt_players_fnc = {
			_player = objNull;
			_distance = 100000;
			{
				if (_x In allPlayers && alive _x && _x distance (Leader _this) < _distance) then {
					_distance = _x distance (Leader _this); 
					_player = _x;
				};
			} foreach (playableUnits + switchAbleUnits);

			if !(isNull _player) then {
				_wp = _this addWaypoint [getPos _player, (50 + (floor(random 70)))];
				_wp setWaypointStatements ["true","_null = (group this) spawn Hunt_players_fnc;"];
				_wp setWaypointType "SAD";
				_wp setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
				_wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
			};
		};

		_null = (group _this) spawn Hunt_players_fnc;
	}; 
};

Works fine in singleplayer, but doesn't function on dedicated server.

See if this works for dedicated:

if (isServer) then {
	_null = this spawn {
		Hunt_players_fnc = {
			_player = objNull;
			_players = +(allPlayers - (entities "HeadlessClient_F"));
			_distance = 100000;
			{
				if (alive _x && _x distance (Leader _this) < _distance) then {
					_distance = _x distance (Leader _this); 
					_player = _x;
				};
			} foreach _players;

			if !(isNull _player) then {
				_wp = (Group _this) addWaypoint [getPos _player, (50 + (floor(random 70)))];
				_wp setWaypointStatements ["true","_null = this spawn Hunt_players_fnc;"];
				_wp setWaypointType "SAD";
				_wp setWaypointCombatMode "RED";
				_wp setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
			};
		};

		_null = _this spawn Hunt_players_fnc;
	}; 
};
