And today's challenge is, Send a Creature to the Nearest Enemy! This is a minion, so its script can be written any which way and it can have any desired effects equipped. But Teleport Field didn't work in this case, or perhaps the situation wasn't right. As for actions, JumpToObject and MoveToObject only take script names or other definite objects. I need this guy to jump to a nameless and random hostile.

 

And while I'm at this, why don't I get summoning location near caster with any allegiances settings in effect 67? The G3 guide says that 4 and 6 should spawn the creature at the location of the caster, but this minion appears by the target no matter what I choose.

I do believe it's your local environment playing tricks again. MoveToObject(LastBlah()) is an AI cornerstone, and I bet JumpToObject behaves no differently.

NearestXXX() does have a small problem of ignoring non-visible objects, however, maybe that's the case?

My environment is fine. There was a problem because of script insertion, but now that's fixed. I'm not saying that MoveToObject(LastSeenBy...) and so on doesn't work, but only that generic AI values don't do it. No JumpToObject(Nearest([ENEMY])).
