Target target targeting my target

[vor_lord]

I finally was able to use the new version last night.  Made a 5-man run in LBRS.  The new version does grab the first target that is pointed at the Ally.  Worked quite well when something was targeting the Ally.

I ran into problems if nothing was targeting my Ally.  My game would frees for 3-5 seconds.  In the middle of a big fight this isnt good.  I suspect that since we have to increase the tab itterations by one with each cycle,  it is starting to take significant resources.
I am thinking of changing:
  AllyProtect_target_search_limit = 15;

to:
  AllyProtect_target_search_limit = 7;

and see how it does.

Ugh. The algorithm did go from O(N) to O(N^2) but even at 15 I had hoped that was too low to matter. Apparently there is some fairly significant processing involved in TargetNearestEnemy() that is the culprit here.

I think I'll make the default 8 next time I play with the mod. That might be a few days (my motherboard never came back alive after power shortage suffered during the Denver blizzard a couple weeks ago).

Thank you very much for the feedback. Darn Blizzard and their stupid name-based scripting interface, none of this would be necessary if I could tell the difference between two identically named mobs.
