Default BotOwner by AccountID instead of CharacterID

I am currently looking for a way to get bots to spawn if the accountID matches instead of the characterID and came to a bit of a pit regarding my meager knowledge of the source.

What i tried was looking into bots.cpp:

1) at the spawn command I disabled the check for owned bot:
Code:
if(!strcasecmp(sep->arg[1], "spawn") ) {
		if (RuleB(Bots, BotCharacterLevelEnabled)) {
			if (c->GetLevel() < RuleI(Bots, BotCharacterLevel)) {
				c->Message(0, "You are only level %d, you must be level %d to spawn a bot!", c->GetLevel(), RuleI(Bots, BotCharacterLevel));
				return;
			}
		}

		uint32 botId = GetBotIDByBotName(std::string(sep->arg[2]));
		int xy = c->AccountID();
		int yz = GetBotOwnerCharacterID(botId, &TempErrorMessage);
		int yzz = database.GetAccountIDByChar(yz);
			if (xy != yzz)//(GetBotOwnerCharacterID(botId, &TempErrorMessage) != c->CharacterID()) godrage
			{
				c->Message(0, "You can't spawn a bot that you don't own.");

			}
2) disabling the same check at the Bot::Spawn
Code:
void Bot::Spawn(Client* botCharacterOwner, std::string* errorMessage) {
	if(GetBotID() > 0 && _botOwnerCharacterID > 0 && botCharacterOwner )//&& botCharacterOwner->CharacterID() == _botOwnerCharacterID)
3) redoing the casttoclient to the actual client
Code:
if(this->Save())
			botCharacterOwner->CastToClient()->Message(0, "%s saved.", this->GetCleanName());
			//this->GetBotOwner()->CastToClient()->Message(0, "%s saved.", this->GetCleanName());
		else
			botCharacterOwner->CastToClient()->Message(13, "%s save failed!", this->GetCleanName());
			//this->GetBotOwner()->CastToClient()->Message(13, "%s save failed!", this->GetCleanName());
4) now the bot spawns and immediately despawns and I am stuck as to where the despawn is triggered


can anyone see this endeavour as totally fruitless ?

The main idea for my solo server project is to not have to create bots for every character you create over and over again.

thanks in advance!

This one is a little more involved than the other and I'm in the middle of an implementation review.


My guess on the despawn is that something is askew with the instantiated bot..probably not having an owner id..and the it is being marked
and processed for de-pop.


If I get time, I'll come back to this.

Code:
if (xy.equals(yz) && yz.equals(yzz)); True
else if
yzz.equals(null); False You can't spawn a bot that you don't own.
