Combat Grouping by Proximity

Overview

Combat Grouping By Proximity allows expanding combat encounters with configurable combat clustering.

Enemies within a set radius of each other will join combat. Think of it as a 'shouting range'. This is particularly useful for modded encounters where groups of enemies will not aggro together at the player depending on distance and/or line-of-sight, unlike vanilla encounters.

Features

This mod provides a flexible combat grouping system configurable through MCM that:

• []Clusters/pulls creatures into combat with the player if they're within a configurable radius of each other;

  []Excludes allies of any party member from being pulled into combat against the player;

  []Lets you enable/disable checks for line of sight, sleep, unconsciousness, and silence;

  []Allows characters with the CGBP_IGNORE passive to fully opt out of clustering.

  Notes

  • []Clustering is triggered when a character enters combat;

    []Hostility is set using temporary hostility, which should reset if enemies flee or are knocked out (though clusters will reform if aggroed again);

    []Radius ignores walls or obstacles (10~20m is a good range for most encounters).
