Bot Behavior

Currently, I don't believe so...

I'm pretty sure their current target is based on 'most hate' and it is updated once per ai timer cycle.

That code is a little deeper than just class Bot..it would require a rework of that whole system - probably in more than one class.

I'll ponder for a solution and see what comes up.

Yea, totally understand if it's an issue that affects NPC's in general, or something bad like that.

Shei is the first event we've done that has some AE not coming off the Boss itself. I want to say as the expansions progress, room wide AE becomes more common. Hopefully there is some way to fix them. Otherwise, we'll just continue to spam ^attack. =)

Old post I know, but couldn't you just locate the mobs in the zone list and move their spawn locations so they are visible? Seems a better solution then having to rewrite bot code.

Hey Warkral. Problem with moving the NPC's, is they are there to simulate a mechanic for the boss. If you moved them, they would still be invis and invuln. The bots would still try to attack them and get stuck.

If you make them so they can be targetted and killed then the boss mechanic goes away.

We never bothered to go back and try to boss again.
