Didn't see anything in SHCollisions.act or SH5.exe that says once unit takes damage from something then lock onto that unit. The game engine is pretty simple in how it determines the unit a unit is tracking/engaging:
- derive list of active game units (some units can be excluded from this list)
- iterate over list of active game units derived:
-- iterate over all sensors of the current unit
--- iterate over all active game units derived for each sensor to see if sensor detects it
--- if sensor detects it then add to list of detected units
Check all detected units to see which one was detected the 'strongest'. Place pointer to this unit in unit's contact detected 'slot'.
