Faction Urgency Function

Hello!
I'm not sure if I'm missing something (maybe a bug?), but why does the faction urgency function return the
negative affinity towards the other faction?
Code: Select all
public class FactionUrgencyFunction : UrgencyFunction
{
public override string typeName { get { return "By Faction"; } }
public override float Compute(WorldModel worldModel)
{
var observerFaction = worldModel.observer.entityType.GetFaction();
var otherFaction = worldModel.observed.entityType.GetFaction();
return worldModel.observed.count * -observerFaction.GetAffinity(otherFaction);
}
}

My thinking on that one was that it's like the Threat but without the entity count scaled by a curve.
After thinking about it, in the next update I'll add an entity count curve and an option to specify negative or positive. In its current form, I don't think it provides any benefit over Threat.

Ah, now I see. I thought this urgency function should express the affinity to the other faction, like for example helping allies first or keeping an eye on the enemy.

I would appreciate this, thank you!

You may see version 1.1.1 on the Asset Store soon. This is just a quick update version to address API changes in uMMORPG 1.148. The urgency function change will be in 1.1.2.

I was glad to make that change. It's much more intuitive now. Thanks for the suggestion!
