Parameters 

Description 

signalFilter 

filter which defines the subset of AIobjects which will receive the signal: 

SIGNALFILTER_SENDER 

signal is sent to the sender only (may be not the caller itself in this case) 

SIGNALFILTER_GROUPONLY 

signal is sent to all the AIObjects in the same sender's group, within its communication range 

SIGNALFILTER_GROUPONLY_EXCEPT 

signal is sent to all the AIObjects in the same sender's group, within its communication range, except the sender itself 

SIGNALFILTER_SUPERGROUP 

signal is sent signal is sent to all the AIObjects in the same sender's group 

SIGNALFILTER_SPECIESONLY 

signal is sent to all the AIObjects in the same sender's species, in his comm range 

SIGNALFILTER_SUPERSPECIES 

signal is sent to all AIObjects in the same sender's species 

SIGNALFILTER_ANYONEINCOMM 

signal is sent to all the AIObjects in sender's communication range 

SIGNALFILTER_NEARESTGROUP 

signal is sent to the nearest AIObject in the sender's group 

SIGNALFILTER_NEARESTINCOMM 

signal is sent to the nearest AIObject, in the sender's group, within sender's communication range 

SIGNALFILTER_NEARESTINCOMM_SPECIES 

signal is sent to the nearest AIObject, in the sender's species, within sender's communication range 

SIGNALFILTER_HALFOFGROUP 

signal is sent to the first half of the AI Objects in the sender's group 

SIGNALFILTER_LEADER 

signal is sent to the sender's group CLeader Object 

SIGNALFILTER_LEADERENTITY 

signal is sent to the sender's group leader AIObject (which has the CLeader associated) 

signalType 

-1: signal is processed by all entities, even if they're disabled/sleeping 0: signal is processed by all entities which are enabled 1: signal is processed by all entities which are enabled and not sleeping 10: signal is added in the sender's signal queue even if another signal with same text is present (normally it's not) 

signalText 

signal text which will be processed by the receivers (in a Lua callback with the same name as the text, or directly by the CAIObject) (optional) signalExtraData: lua table which can be used to send extra data. It can contains the following values: 

point 

a vector in format {x,y,z} 

point2 

a vector in format {x,y,z} 

ObjectName 

a string 

id 

an entity id 

fValue 

a float value 

iValue 

an integer value 

iValue2 

a second integer value
