CreatureAI::UpdateVictim() was not triggering EnterEvadeMode() after the Creature ended combat because IsEngaged() would return false.
These changes save the value of IsEngaged() to be used next tick to check if the Creature was in combat, is not anymore now and needs to evade (or select another enemy).
EnterEvadeMode() sets the stored previous value to false to ensure the Creature will not try to evade while already evading.
- Triggers can no longer have a threat list (this may expose some ugliness in old legacy scripts)
- Threat entries are forced to OFFLINE if the AI refuses to attack the target
- Clean up passive creature evade behavior to be more consistent
- Fix a months old issue in spawn group management that would cause "Inactive" to incorrectly show in .list respawns for system groups outside of map 0
- Valithria script cleanups, remove old hacks and make it work with the new system. Closes#21174.
- Some strings cleanup
- PvE combat is now always mutual. UNIT_FLAG_IN_COMBAT is backed by actual references to the units we're in combat with.
- PvP combat is now also tracked, and almost always mutual; spells like Vanish and Feign Death can break this rule. That means we can easily determine a list of players we're fighting.
- By extension, IsInCombatWith now has sensible behavior when invoked on nonplayers.
- Threat and combat systems are no longer the same.
- They still have an enforced relationship (threat implies combat - clearing combat clears threat)...
- ...but we can have combat without threat. A creature (with threat list) isn't considered to be engaged until it has an entry on its threat list...
- ...which means we can now faithfully replicate retail engage behavior. Combat on projectile launch - engagement start on projectile impact. Yay for progress!
- AI method refactor, as already ported in 6113b9d - `JustEngagedWith`, `JustEnteredCombat` and `JustExitedCombat`.
- Vehicle threat is now properly pooled on the main vehicle body (fixes#16542).
- Various edge case bug fixes for threat redirects (Misdirection "cancelling" Vigilance and similar).
- Target re-selection is now significantly faster.
- Fixed a ton of other smaller edge case bugs, probably.
Closes#7951 and #19998.
Today, we're moving UNIT_FLAG_IMMUNE_TO_PC and UNIT_FLAG_IMMUNE_TO_NPC to higher-level abstraction so combat manager can react to it.
New methods on Unit:
- void SetImmuneTo<All/PC/NPC>(apply, keepCombat = false);
- bool IsImmuneTo<All/PC/NPC>() const;
* Combat/Threat rewrite (PR #19930) prep work. Mostly refactors, and a compatibility layer on ThreatManager/HostileReference that allows scripts to be changed already.
* Pet/Guardian AI hook re-organizing:
- Adjust OwnerAttacked/OwnerAttackedBy hooks on CreatureAI to fire for all owned units, not just player pets. This should allow guardians to more reliably recognize valid targets.
- Kill off the AttackedBy hook. While it was defined in CreatureAI.h as virtual, it was only ever invoked for player pets in specific situations. This makes it classic developer bait.
- Adjust PetAI to use DamageTaken instead of AttackedBy.
- Adjust behavior of AttackStart on PetAI to compensate.
- Added an auxiliary function IsInBounds to base CreatureAI
- Changed container to vector. Set had no sense because we're storing new pointers, they have different addresses even if the boundary is the same
Movement/SplineChain: Bump value range for DB chainId up to uint16 (0 to 65535) from uint8 (0 to 255). Turns out sniffs generate far more chains than I expected.
- Default range for DoZoneInCombat: 50.0f -> 250.0f.
- Add optional second arg to SummonList::DoZoneInCombat to specify range.
- Also a bunch of random NULL -> nullptr cleanup.
- When a creature cannot find a path to its victim, it begins evading all attacks and regenerating health.
- If this persists for 5 seconds, it evades back to spawn position with new EvadeReason value EVADE_REASON_NO_PATH.
- Also some SmartAI cleanup (why oh why does it have so much duplicated code) and getting rid of #defines in favor of type-checked compile-time constants.
- Add missing const attribute on CheckBoundary arg.
- Prevent AI from attacking a target that is out of bounds. This prevents exploids such as killing Gluth/Deathbringer from out of bounds.
- Fixes creatures turning just before a spellcast finishes and smacking players with supposedly-unavoidable damage. Fixes and closes#15393, #10803, and probably others.
- Fixes visual effects not lining up with the correct target for spells that have their visual aligned with the caster's orientation (examples: Anub'rekhan Impale, Ingvar's Smash/Dark Smash, etc.). Fixes and closes#2947 and probably a bunch of others, including the aforementioned #15393 and #10803.
- Creatures' displayed target now properly matches the unit they are targeting with spells for a split second (blizzlike). This is necessary to get proper client-side orientation.
- Migrate boundary logic to Maps/AreaBoundary instead of having it sit in InstanceScript (to possibly allow use for other purposes).
- Implement the first five boundary types in Maps/AreaBoundary.cpp.
- Add boundary checks to Creature's update logic
- Add boundary data for all Northrend raids
- Add boundary initialization structures and methods to InstanceScript
- Modify EnterEvadeMode signature. It now passes a value from the EvadeReason enum as parameter to allow special casing depending on evade reason
- Remove previous (weird) boundary code that had them linked to GO spawns
