It appears that Client:HateList() does nothing? The #hatelist command on a client returns nothing even when the client is engaged in combat?

Is this correct?

I'm building a routine that has guards who will only assist those who have good faction. To do that, I need to get a list of all the mobs who have client on their hatelist.

The only way I can figure out how to do this is to walk GetMobList() and call CheckAggro(client) on each mob in the zone. This seems pretty heavy duty, although it does work.

Is there a better way?

My code:

local ProxRangeXY = 40
local prox_friends = {}
 
function event_spawn(e) 
  eq.set_proximity(e.self:GetX() - ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetX() + ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetY() - ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetY() + ProxRangeXY)
  eq.set_timer("setprox", 2000) 
  eq.set_timer("checkaggro", 500)
end 
 
function event_timer(e) 
  if (e.timer == "setprox") then 
    eq.clear_proximity() 
    eq.set_proximity(e.self:GetX() - ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetX() + ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetY() - ProxRangeXY, e.self:GetY() + ProxRangeXY)
  elseif (e.timer == "checkaggro" and #prox_friends > 0) then
    local mob_list = eq.get_entity_list():GetMobList()
    for i,friend in pairs(prox_friends) do
      for ent in mob_list.entries do 
        if (ent:CheckAggro(friend) and ent:CalculateDistance(e.self:GetX(), e.self:GetY(), e.self:GetZ()) < ProxRangeXY) then
          e.self:AddToHateList(ent)
        end
      end
    end 
  end
end 
 
function event_enter(e)
  local faction = e.other:GetFaction(e.self) 
  if (faction < 5) then  -- only help folks Amiable or better
    table.insert(prox_friends, e.other) 
  end 
end

function event_leave(e)
  for i, friend in pairs(prox_friends) do
    if (friend == e.other) then
      table.remove(prox_friends, i)
    end 
  end 
end
