- Decoupled Unit logic: split of spell critical chance into done (caster bonuses) and taken (target bonuses), this allows to precalculate caster bonuses on aura apply and then check victim's auras on damage/healing calc
- Made static a bunch of methods (they no longer have this pointer because they are now called from periodic handlers which may or may not have an active caster in world)
- Simplified all AuraEffect bonuses into AuraEffect::_amount, no more duplicated code
- Critical chance and whether or not caster is player owned unit (for resilience calcs) is now saved one level upper, on Aura itself (it's impossible as of 3.3.5 to have different effects with different critical chances)
- Minor cleanup of SPELL_DAMAGE_CLASS_NONE and Arcane Potency (#18813) crit handling
Closes#19876
- 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.
Core/Spell: The giant CastSpell unclusterfucking (that's a word now) of this generation.
- CastSpell now always takes three arguments - target, spellId, and a struct containing extra arguments
- This struct (CastSpellExtraArgs, see SpellDefines.h) serves as a conglomerate of every previous combination of the 20 billion different CastSpell overloads, all merged into one
- It has some great utility constructors - check them out! All of these can be used to implicitly construct the ExtraArgs object.
- A gajillion refactors to make everything behave the way it always has
* Scripts/Deadmines: New script for Edwin VanCleef
- Blackguards are now summoned properly as part of the encounter
- Blackguards will despawn on evade
- Fixed scripted actions/speech on health
- Removed Blackguards from world DB
- Corrected VanCleef's damage
* Timmy the cruel
* Rename some variables and use sniffed spawn position
* codestyle
* Use areaboundary instead
* include order
* aokromes request
* remove static
* never cp on tc
There are three possible scenarios regarding regenerating health
- db lock and curhealth set to > 0
- db lock and curhealth set to 0
- dynamic lock (set in scripts and such) overriding db lock
Following the work done in #19361 this is the cleanup and improvement of the related logic of waypoint management.
Ref 28050f3#18020
(taking the good parts and ignoring the incomplete work)
* Core/Scripts: Rewrite Boss Kalecgos (Sunwell Plateau)
Scripted all spells
Corrected behavior of Spectral Blast and Curse of Boundless Agony
Removed wrong wipe behavior
Fix problem where bosses would be stuck with banish
Added Boundaries
Corrected texts
Removed old hacks
Other minor fixes
- Rename JustRespawned to JustAppeared, which better matches its behavior anyway.
- Properly invoke JustAppeared for new (re-)spawns - fixes#20111.
- Fix Thaddius script to work with dynamic_spawning (mostly unrelated to the above) - Feugen/Stalagg should really be a summon group, but I don't have time to fix that right now.
- Fix default value for DynamicEscortNPC to match worldserver.conf.dist.
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.
