Hello everyone,
I was working with hunter bots and I feel like I didn't have enough control over their pets. So I started working on a chat command for the hunter pets, and it's been a blast. Below is a description of what the commands do:
pet name <name>
Summons a tameable pet by its creature name (case-insensitive).
The bot checks if the pet is exotic and requires the Beast Mastery talent if so.
If successful, the bot announces the pet's new name and creature ID.
If not found or not tameable, an error message is given.
pet id <id>
Summons a tameable pet by its database creature ID.
The same exotic pet checks apply.
Success is announced with the pet's name and ID.
Errors are given for invalid IDs or untameable pets.
pet family <family>
Randomly selects and summons a tameable pet from the specified family (e.g., "cat", "wolf").
Only families with tameable pets are considered.
Exotic pet checks and talent requirements apply.
Success is announced with the pet's name and ID.
Errors are given if no suitable pet is found.
pet rename <new name>
Renames the hunter's current summoned pet to a new name.
The name must be 1-12 alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z) and is automatically formatted (first letter capitalized, rest lowercased).
Forbidden or reserved names are disallowed.
After renaming, the bot sets the new name, saves the pet, and updates the client.
The bot dismisses and attempts to recall the pet using "Call Pet" (if the hunter knows it) to update the UI.
If the new name isn't visible immediately, the bot instructs the player to dismiss and recall the pet manually.
Confirmation and guidance messages are provided.
Additional Details:
All commands display errors if requirements are not met (wrong name/id/family, forbidden name, lack of Beast Mastery, or hunter below level 10).
After changing or summoning a pet (except renaming), the bot initializes the pet and its talents, then announces the result.
TLDR:
pet name <name> Summon a tameable pet by name
pet id <id> Summon a tameable pet by database creature ID
pet family <family> Randomly summon a tameable pet of the given family
pet rename <new name> Rename the current pet and refresh its name in the client UI
Description of files changed:
src\strategy\actions\ChatActionContext.h: Added the "pet" action for the whisper command.
src\strategy\actions\PetAction.cpp: New chat actions for all things related to hunter pets.
src\strategy\actions\PetAction.h: New header for the PetAction.cpp.
src\strategy\generic\ChatCommandHandlerStrategy.cpp: Linked the trigger and action in the chatcommandhandlerstrategy, for the bot to take action when whispered "pet" (trigger).
src\strategy\triggers\ChatTriggerContext.h: Added the "pet" trigger.
- 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.
* CMaNGOS Playerbots "lfg" command implemented
* Remove logging, fix warning, add suggestion
- Remove LOG_INFO's console clutter, since 'lfg' command is working correctly now.
- Warning C26813 fixed for: placeholders["%role"] = (role == BOT_ROLE_TANK ? "tank" : (role == BOT_ROLE_HEALER ? "healer" : "dps"));
- Added suggestion to let bots do autogear & maintenance, so players can instantly start their dungeon or raid activities without manually having to configure the playerbots gear. It could save a lot of time. This is up to discussion for playerbots maintainers.
Fixes#1169
Reverts TankAssistStrategy and DpsAssistStrategy InitTriggers implementations to their previous versions.
