What is the difference between "LocationEdgeMarker(s)" & Out Of Sight Marker in settlement aspect?

[Lava2007]

I'm trying to get random enemy attacks to spawn but the only attacks I get is like when the settlers come up to you and say "Are you here to help". Then Raiders OR Gunners attack yada yada yada, but I can't seem to get my settlement to be attacked and get the notification that "settlement name is under attack". Does anyone know how to make them attack? Which is what leads me to my question, I know one is for In-Cell and the other is when your Out-Of-Cell. Can anyone answer this for me.â

The Help defend <Alias=myLocation> workshop*attack quests use LocRefType LocationEdgeMarker

The Defend <Alias=ActualLocation> MinRadiant quests use WorkshopLinkAttackMarker

Thank you for your response,

 

I've tried everything I could think of. I can't get a settlement attack while i'm out of the cell, however I do get the quests like "defend location" & clear the raiders quests. But I just can't get them to attack my settlement while i'm out of the cell. (I never get the attack notification there.)

Actors are not actually AI active when they are outside of the uGridsToLoad (actually more complex but that will do) range of the player. At default 5 that 10,000 game units from the player.

 

One of the exceptions is if they have an AI travel package active, then their off screen movement location is constantly calculated (often badly qv lost provisioners).

 

EDIT: TL;DR you cant make a fight happen when it is outside of the players uGridsToLoad radius.

Okay, so I figured it out after several days of frustration (3 days of actively testing - trial & error). Turn out it was the simple tag "S GetInCurrentLocation LocationName == 1.00 AND" which is what I was missing ever since I put that in I've gotten attacked by Gunners, Raiders, Super Mutants. However there is NO "SettlementName is under attack!" Again another two or so days and I got it to work however I'm still going to take one piece from here and there to find out what I was missing. Now it's showing " [...] is under attack !" instead of [Wicked Shipping] is under attack!"

 

I remember reading someplace (dont remember the location (website wise)) and it said something about if you get the three dots in the middle of the brackets that it means the alias didn't fill. So I'm thinking it's my location alias that the message form is the culprit, however, I'm just learning and have the most basic understanding of aliases and what they can do. If you can further assist that would be splendid! Also if you require some screenshots I'll more than happily take them of the CK.
