Eyes are not KOS because of

I would like eyes to be treated as the player would be like pets are, but also even when someone is FD unlike pets.

Where would I go about changing this behavior in the spell file or in the assembly files like aggro.h?

I can't find the exact location that it decides to make it not KOS.

I made the spell file identical to a pet and though it followed me around and I didnt bind sight to it, it was still not getting aggroed. So assumedly this is hard coded somewhere, anyone know the spot?

Thanks!

pets only get AGGRO if made to attack or OWNER pulls aggro and dont think you going get this did.

Ah sorry for the misinterpretation.

I am saying I want mobs to use the players Faction and kill on sightness to determine if an eye from the spell Eye of Zomm is aggroed or not (the same mechanic as a pet gets) It currently is ignored, but I kind of want the pulling mechanics like P99 has with it.

I am sure its somewhere in this beast, but I am having issues spotting it:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob...zone/aggro.cpp

Could you flag the eye with a player's faction in a global EVENT_SPAWN script ? - Eye of Zomm - npc_types (644) SummonEye (just barking at the wind here), lol

Wouldnt EYE have be flagged as a PLAYER pull aggro just because a pet sitting at a KOS mob it wont get attacked unless player is attacked to? I have never heard a pet pulling aggro to a player is on aggro list and a PET has be told ATTACK get aggro otherwise.

Hmm! That is not a bad idea Huppy. It definitely just seems like there must be a standard line of aggro that like a mage pet takes to be aggroed. I know for sure at some points all pets shared player aggro attributes (often worse because of the reduced level) if that is not how it works now.

If the Eye is KOS, what the hell is the point of the spell?

I think maybe if I just remove the GetOwner() check here:

Code:

(mob->GetPrimaryFaction() != GetPrimaryFaction() && mob->GetPrimaryFaction() == -4 && GetOwner() == nullptr)

FROM:

Code:

// Make sure they're still in the zone

        // Are they in range?

        // Are they kos?

        // Are we stupid or are they green

        // and they don't have their gm flag on

        int heroicCHA_mod = mob->itembonuses.HeroicCHA/25; // 800 Heroic CHA cap

        if(heroicCHA_mod > THREATENLY_ARRGO_CHANCE)

                heroicCHA_mod = THREATENLY_ARRGO_CHANCE;

        if (RuleB(Aggro, UseLevelAggro) &&

        (

        //old InZone check taken care of above by !mob->CastToClient()->Connected()

        (

                ( GetLevel() >= RuleI(Aggro, MinAggroLevel))

                ||(GetBodyType() == 3)

                ||( mob->IsClient() && mob->CastToClient()->IsSitting() )

                ||( mob->GetLevelCon(GetLevel()) != CON_GRAY)



        )

        &&

        (

                (

                        fv == FACTION_SCOWLS

                        ||

                        (mob->GetPrimaryFaction() != GetPrimaryFaction() && mob->GetPrimaryFaction() == -4 && GetOwner() == nullptr)

                        ||

                        (

                                fv == FACTION_THREATENLY

                                && zone->random.Roll(THREATENLY_ARRGO_CHANCE - heroicCHA_mod)

                        )

                )

        )

        )

        )

        {

                //FatherNiwtit: make sure we can see them. last since it is very expensive

                if(CheckLosFN(mob)) {

                        Log(Logs::Detail, Logs::Aggro, "Check aggro for %s target %s.", GetName(), mob->GetName());

                        return( mod_will_aggro(mob, this) );

                }

        }

Then I can get pets being aggro'd I will let you know.

Ah its the good old days on live where the holgresh elder beads were a pulling tool, haha.

if that works people can AFK pet kill very easy park a pet way from them let it rip mobs to shreds not a good ideal and that not cheating

AFK killing in Everquest ? That's absurd ;)

Anyways, I was playing around with that eye last night, (in my own little custom ways), and had some fun with it. First, I created a mage and put the eye on the same faction as the toon, then went into a couple kos zones and it didn't do a thing for aggro. I even put the eye on a kos(79) faction, but still nothing. So I assume it's a "pet thing" in the source code, which seems logical. But something else I played with, was increasing the buff timer on it, so I was able to scout around with the eye for alot longer. Then I set it up to just follow me around, like a "familiar", without ever expiring. There was no buff icon in the window under that scenario though. I like screwing around with things on a test box, once in awhile, to take a break from the normal grind of staring at a database, lol

Did this change in code work by chance?

I have yet to rebuild the code and test. Most likely I will instead say IsPet() or something for the check though once I attempt it. I have a feeling that yest its in the aggro code itself.
