Event Controler - Event: Distance to locked Grid - Issue!
Two issues:
1) When having an event controller set to the event: "Distance to locked grid" with event controler threshold 2000 - 2500m with condition: "equal or below" it can happen, that the event controller never triggers, even when a locked grid comes close. Since the AI Defensive block searches for new targets every 5 seconds only, it can happen that the enemy grid gets locked on AFTER it already passed the event controllers threshold, and the event controller is somehow only triggered, when the threshold is PASSED by the ALREADY locked grid (being below its threshold is not enough somehow). So with timing, it can happen, that a moving grid with 100m/s speed will never trigger a event controller with theshold 2000m or above, since the grid has to be locked BEFORE passing the event controllers theshold. This issue could be solved by reducing the "searching for enemies" cooldown of the AI defensive block to close to 0 seconds or to make it immediate.
2) The second issue is, once the event controller gets target distance input from the defensive AI block, it never triggeres its second action slot when the target is destroyed or completely removed, it only triggeres the second action slot when the target itself moves out of threshold range again. Even when the AI defensive block is seaching for new targets because the old one got destroyed/totally removed, the evencontroller still shows old Target info in the control panel and doesn't delete the old target.
