Mobs healing through walls and pet aggro

[sfisque]

this i was a problem for a long time on LIVE. not sure if they ever fixed it (i remember sebilis and kedge being especially guilty of healers healing through the floor/ceiling).

my server exhibits this problem as well, so i'm sure its "global".

I'm sure you're using the proper map files, but check around for updates. There was a handful of zone maps updated recently (last year) for some of the GoD+ zones, and I think some of the older ones too. Can't remember.

But I confirm, mobs have always had an innate ability to heal, aggro, and even attack you through solid rock/walls in Live. I haven't played recently, so I cannot say if they fixed it there.

The did fix it on live, I think they just put a LoS check before they casted.

I do have the most recent maps, otherwise I think I'd have casting issues too!

This is just annoying, especially with the pet classes.

Afaik player chars wont get aggroed through walls. So wouldnt it be enough to use the same piece of code that checks if a mob can see(=aggro) a player on the mob to be healed?
