Re: How to set a modded entity to a force that is untargetable

You've read somewhere (not seen where) that setting an entity's force to neutral stops Rampant AI from targeting it. That sort of makes sense because by default the neutral force isn't enemies with anyone, but it's a definitely using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. What you are really asking for ...
