Turrets Shoot Hunting Predators

Something that I feel should always have been vanilla behavior. Turrets now target predators hunting your pawns.

Instead of the traditional approach of constantly scanning everything in the map, we make a cache of pawns (animals in this case) that have the predatorHunt job. If the target for that job is a pawn that belongs to your faction, once they are in range of turrets, these will take notice and fire at the animal.

Note: This is different from manhunting animals. Manhunting animals are automatically shot by turrets in vanilla behavior regardless.

This also patches an exception that becomes more common with this mod. Normally, in vanilla, turrets will sometimes not be counted as instigators for the purpose of manhunter chance calculations. Before those calculations happen, this mod will make sure that the instigator is not null nor the instigator's ideologies are null. If one or the other are null, it will return the default calculation value, if not, the original vanilla code will take over.


Needs further testing, experimental release.


Animals Logic (Has logic to handle this already, but I felt it didn't work at times, which is why I made this patch.)
Their function to shoot hunting predators can be disabled in their mod options, so you can still use all the logic from it alongside this as long as you disable that.

Combat Extended Drastically changes targeting checks. As this hooks into vanilla checks to do what it does, the mod ceases to function.

Any mod that replaces the vanilla turret TryFindNewTarget functions entirely instead of patching them
