Requesting mod assistance

[SneakyGemini]

Hi everyone i'm reasonably new to modding and I would like to make Spider type monsters ignore Chester. However i'm having some trouble finding exactly where spider type monsters determine if a target is attackable or not so after manually searching the .lua files for a few hours I thought maybe I could just ask a more enlightened individual.. xD

 

Thanks anyone who can help out, I greatly appreciate it.

 

(Reasons for this: I play as webber quite often lately and find it annoying to have spiders as pets when they are so aggressive toward my beloved chester)

The most important function is this in spider.lua, you could add an excemption to inst.prefab=="chester" (edit: sorry, that's guy.prefab) where appropriate

local function NormalRetarget(inst)    local targetDist = TUNING.SPIDER_TARGET_DIST    if inst.components.knownlocations:GetLocation("investigate") then        targetDist = TUNING.SPIDER_INVESTIGATETARGET_DIST    end    return FindEntity(inst, targetDist,         function(guy)             if inst.components.combat:CanTarget(guy)               and not (inst.components.follower and inst.components.follower.leader == guy) then                return guy:HasTag("character")            end    end)end
