NPC callout spam after avoided combat

[some-kind]

I encountered an issue where my companion keeps spamming callout messages to a specific enemy NPC even though we avoided combat with that enemy. The companion continues sending messages to the same NPC repeatedly.

I’m not entirely sure how the callout logic works internally, but I temporarily fixed this on my side by adding a distance check in the callout validation function to limit callouts only to nearby enemies.

Here is my fix to the is_valid_callout function:

local MAX_CALLOUT_DISTANCE = 30  -- adjust as needed

function is_valid_callout(npc_obj, target_obj)
    local is_valid =
        (queries.get_game_time_ms() - last_callout_time_ms) > callout_cooldown_ms and
        queries.is_living_character(npc_obj) and
        queries.is_living_character(target_obj) and
        queries.are_enemies(npc_obj, target_obj) and
        not queries.is_in_combat(npc_obj) and
        queries.get_distance_between(npc_obj, target_obj) <= MAX_CALLOUT_DISTANCE

    if is_valid then last_callout_time_ms = queries.get_game_time_ms() end
    return is_valid
end
