Is it possible to attract biters to a point?

Build something that will attract all biters in a radius to that point?

Or on a certain event have biters attack.

Thanks.

Okay, so this is working great in my mod:

Code: Select all

   if event.created_entity.name == "rocket-silo" then
	  	game.get_surface(1).set_multi_command({type=defines.command.attack,target=game.player.character,distraction=defines.distraction.none},2000)
but I do want to make a change. currently the command is to attack the player.
I'd like to have the biters attached the rocket-silo. I know this is possibly, by first getting the coordinates of the rocket-silo and then directing the alien to attack there.

Can someone maybe please help with that code?

Did you try target=event.created_entity?
