Stop Bot from Melee?

[matt.k.rea]

I don't know how I cannot find another topic on this. Am I missing something very obvious here?

Long story short I want my bots to hang back and cast only. Instead, I have casters running up and trying to melee (while casting).

I've tried stances by they appear to only affect how they cast, not how they respond to combat in general.

Is there any way to change their behavior?

What level range are they doing this in?

Caster bots are hard coded to melee up to level 12. After that, then they only cast.


If you're running your own server, you can find the limit here:
https://github.com/EQEmu/Server/blob/master/zone/bot.cpp (void Bot::AI_Process() ~line 3564)

There's a couple of checks in there that can be altered.
