strange error message "Tried to AccessTargetList ... which will hurt clientside performance"

[pSiKO 124]

hi all Arma coders,

I face a strange issue in my mission, in the server log, I've got this message:
 

Tried to AccessTargetList for non-local AI group while non-local targeting was disabled!
Engine will now enable non-local targeting which will hurt clientside performance.

 

I really don't know what can cause this, (even with -debug), and searching on the Internet don't give me any clue!

is someone could explain me what this message mean, and (crossed fingers) what can cause this ?

I suspect a bad usage of reveal, knowsAbout or doTarget commands, but because I'm not understand what happen I can't solve this

thanks you all

you used "disableRemoteSensors TRUE" and then you used an AI getter command like "knowsAbout" or "targets" or "getattacktarget" or something. the getter only works if remote sensors are enabled. so instead of returning nothing, the getter enabled remote sensors and returned the desired result.

 

@Dedmen might correct me or elaborate more on the issue

thanks QuickSilver,

that make sense, I understand a bit better 🙂

you point me in the right direction, (re reading disableRemoteSensors documentation help me)
 

if I enable the remote sensor (on client/server) will there be a huge impact on performance?

so, I follow your advice,

 

I put:

disableRemoteSensors false;

 

in the main init.sqf

 

I comment almost all reveal/doTarget in my code, but I still have this message in log (only on server)
 

What can I do to investigate further ?

 

is there a list of command (AI getter) that can access to AccessTargetList ?
