What is This means [ Impulse Source ]

[shadowman123]

well i was Checking How Guard Auto Attack ..and i Found smthing which i couldnt Identify

Heres it

                        if (monster.MonsterInfo.InSight == 0)
                        {
                            // bla bla bla
                        }

                        if (monster.MonsterInfo.InSight > 400000 && monster.MonsterInfo.InSight < 600000 || monster.MonsterInfo.InSight > 800000 && monster.MonsterInfo.InSight != monster.UID)
                            {
                                // bla bla bla
                             }

Whats The Hell Does Insight mean (btw im not looking for Translation ) i mean what does it Do Exactly In Source Hope not get Ignored

By the looks of it, InSight = the UID (Identity) or the entity that is currently in the monster's look_range. That's... an interesting way of doing it.

[Spirited]

I don't think it's insight, I think it's supposed to be "in sight".

Yeah, thus the capital "S" I would assume.

[KraHen]

Sight radius would be a more proper naming convention.

Judging from how it's named, it probably checks if something is in range of the monster.

[Korvacs]

Actually it looks more likely to be the monsters current target judging by the ranges and the != monster.UID at the end.

[Zeroxelli]

Korvacs' option is more likely. There should be a distance check somewhere in there depending on the attack type. Should be.

well All i could understand that when i assign the target ID to Insight The monster Start Attacking It So Yea its Almost target Range by using ID ... Thx All

Certainly is an odd way of doing it, though. Lol.

its too bad way of doing Range Check we could do that Depending on Spell Range if the Monster is doing magic attack

Yeah, the cq_monster database actually includes data on the range that monsters can "see" as well as the range they can attack.
