What this mod does?

Maybe you already experienced such issue for many times: enemy that were super far away from you still keep in combat and hostile state with you, caused you stucking in the combat state and cannot break away. If you are annoying by this issue and seeking for a way to solve it, then this skse plugin is intended to improve and fix it.

This plugin will improve the vanilla game combat escape \ stopping mechanism, eliminate the unreasonable super far distance combat aggro of enemy‘s, and bring a more reasonable aggro stopping mechanism to the gameplay.

How it works?

While player is running away from enemy and transfer between the game's cells. Everytime a cell transfer event triggered, my plugin will check the situations of all the current combat enemy displayed in the compass, and see if they matched the conditions below to stop thier combat :

(1) For Enemy in Exterior Cells:

The plugin will calculate the distance between player and this enemy. If the distance is beyond the "Maximum Aggro Distance" (value can modified in INI file) , then my plugin will immediately stop this enemy's combat state.

When Player and enemy are both in exterior, the distance will directly equal to the distance between the 3D coordinate positions of theirs.

For interior player and exterior enemy, the distance will equal to the player's distance to the exterior portal door plus the enemy's distance to the interior portal door.

(2) For Enemy in Interior Cells:

Since I currently cannot find a way to get a reliable distance between player and a Interior enemy (need to do a deeper digging into game engine source code) , therefore I currently using a different detection method to check:

By check if the interior cell this enemy located is the same as player's or next to players current cell. If both conditions are not matched, then the plugin will consider this enemy is beyond the aggro distance and will stop it's combat state immediately.

The function I use to stop enemy's current combat state is almost the
