Hello everyone,
I am on a quest to make bot's pets completely functional, focuses on solving issues #1351 , #1230 , and #1137 . This PR achieves the following:
1. Changes the current "pet" chat command to "tame", which is more intuitive that only hunters can use it. The modes are "tame name (name)", "tame id (id)", "tame family (family)", "tame rename (new name)", and "tame abandon". Tame abandon is new - it simply abandons the current pet. Also, now, if you type in "tame family" by itself, it will list the available families. See pictures below for examples.
2. Added new "pet" chat command, with the following modes: "pet passive", "pet aggressive", "pet defensive", "pet stance" (shows current pet stance), "pet attack", "pet follow", and "pet stay". Previously, the pet's stance was not changeable, and there were some less than desired effects from summonable pets - see the issues above.
3. New config option: AiPlayerbot.DefaultPetStance, which changes the stance that all bot's pets are summoned as. This makes sure when feral spirits or treants are summoned by shamans and druids, they are immediately set to this configured stance. Set as 1 as default, which is defensive. (0 = Passive, 1 = Defensive, 2 = Aggressive)
4. New config option: AiPlayerbot.PetChatCommandDebug, which enables debug messages for the "pet" chat command. By default it is set to 0, which is disabled, but if you would like to see when pet's stances are changed, or when you tell the pet to attack/follow/stay, and when pet spells are auto-toggled, this is an option. I made this for myself mainly to test the command - if anyone notices any wierd pet behavior, this will be an option to help them report it as well.
5. Modified FollowActions to not constantly execute the petfollow action, overriding any stay or attack commands issued.
6. Modified GenericActions to have TogglePetSpellAutoCastAction optionally log when spells are toggled based on AiPlayerbot.PetChatCommandDebug.
7. Modified PetAttackAction to not attack if the pet is set to passive, and not override the pet's stance to passive every time it was executed.
8. Modified CombatStrategy.cpp to not constantly issue the petattack command, respecting the "pet stay" and "pet follow" commands. Pets will still automatically attack the enemy if set to aggressive or defensive.
9. Warlocks, Priests, Hunters, Shamans, Mages, Druids, and DKs (all classes that have summons): Added a "new pet" trigger that executes the "set pet stance" action. The "new pet" trigger happens only once, upon summoning a pet. It sets the pet's stance from AiPlayerbot.DefaultPetStance's value.
- Refactored BattleGroundTactics.cpp
- Bots choose strategies to determine if they are more aggressive or defensive in objectives
- Largely improved bots tactics in WSG, AB, AV and EY
- Improved how bots chase flag carriers
- Fixed some bots stuck in action loops - especially in WSG and AV
- Fixed several other Bugs
This is a complete overhaul of the warlock class, making 3 new strategies (affliction, demonology, and destruction), as well as finishing the warlock tank strategy (shadow ward and searing pain). It also includes a soulstone fix, where the bots can change who they soulstone based on the non-combat strategies you set for them. It also includes a self-resurrect action and trigger that allows the bots to resurrect using a soulstone or reincarnation. Many other skills were added to finish out the warlock skillset.
Resolves#947
Equip logic was failing as projectiles were never returning ITEM_USAGE_EQUIP in ItemUsageValue.cpp, added two cases where equip is returned:
If no ammo is currently set
If new ammo has higher DPS than old/currently equipped ammo
While testing this using "b [itemlink]" and "b vendor" to purchase arrows I noticed some issues with BuyAction.cpp and have resolved them:
Bots will now perform the "equip upgrades" action for any bought item that has an equip usage
When using "b vendor" to buy all useful items from vendors within interaction distance, it now sorts the list of available items by calculated item score and buys the highest scoring item (if it is higher than the currently equipped item) for each slot. It should not buy multiple items for the same slot anymore, saving gold/emblems/etc.
"b vendor" will now only attempt to buy 1 of each item. Consumable and projectile item types can be bought up to 10 times per execution as long as it is still useful to buy the item in each iteration of the for loop. All items were following this behaviour previously and since the equip command was only given after the for loop it would buy 10 of an item before triggering it wasn't useful to buy more.
And finally, resolved issues where a bot runs out of ammo mid-fight:
Re-enabled combat and non-combat "no ammo" strategies to perform "equip upgrades" action.
Modified GenericTriggers.cpp; AmmoCountTrigger::IsActive to return true when the bot has ammo but it is not equipped yet.
