- 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
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)
- 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.
- True blizzlike creature spawn/respawn behavior - new creature = new object
- Toggleable spawn groups (with C++/SAI/command options to use them)
- Custom feature: dynamic spawn rate scaling. Accelerates respawn rate based on players in the zone.
- Backward compatibility mode (set via group and for summons)
to support creatures/gos that currently don't work well with this
(this should be removed once the exceptions are fixed)
Fixes and closes#2858
Tags #8661 as fixable.

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.
* When iterating groups we have to either do it not in multithreaded context (map updates) or start with checking maps (they are guaranteed to change in single thread update).
* Properly clear ComboPoint references on player remove
* remove some possible references item may have when it is deleted during save.
* Also clear all hostile references when unit is removed from map.
* Scripts/AzjolNerub: Complete rewrite.
- Gatewatcher:
- Trash now actually engages properly one by one
- Fix trash spell casting
- Add missing quotes
- Hadronox:
- Everything. Literally.
- Anub'arak:
- Fix add spawns
- Fix impale
- OK this might as well be "fix everything with every boss". Because that's pretty much what happened.
- General hack cleanup
* Update and rename 9999_99_99_99_AZJOLNERUB.sql to 2016_09_25_01_world.sql
* Update and rename 2016_09_25_01_world.sql to 2016_09_25_02_world.sql
* Rename 2016_09_25_02_world.sql to 2016_09_26_02_world.sql
- NULL -> nullptr
- Rename "AssistPlayerInCombat(who)" to "AssistPlayerInCombatAgainst(who)" to reflect what the method actually does
- Code style
No functionality was changed.
