Hello everyone,
This PR addresses two errors that players have been getting with the new warlock changes:
Firestone - Fel Firestone, which is rank 6 of create firestone, learned at level 74, is creating an error in the worldserver that is quite annoying. That is because the database has an incorrect enchant effect of a chance on hit for that rank. This PR changes the CreateFirestoneAction to skip that spell rank entirely, thus never having that error. Note: You might need to wait a little while after the new change for the errors to go away - that is because there still be pre-existing fel firestones on the warlocks, as well as enchanted on their weapons. Once those disappear, the error will not be there anymore.
Excess soul shards - There is an error that currently exists where if a Warlock uses Drain Soul while they have 32 soul shards, it will spam in the chat log "I can't carry anymore of those". This PR will automatically delete soul shards if they have 6 or more. This PR also will reduce the number of soul shards the warlock receives from maintenance to 5. I figured 5 is a good maximum so their inventory doesn't get clogged with 32 shards. Between "DestroySoulShard" and "CreateSoulShard" actions, they will always have between 1-5 soul shards.
This PR aims to achieve 4 main things:
1. Manual Curse Strategies - Each curse has it's own toggleable combat strategy, with curse of agony being the default for affliction and demonology, and curse of the elements being default for destro. The other curses that are available are curse of exhaustion (if specced for it), curse of doom, curse of weakness, and curse of tongues (6 total). You can add these by typing "co +curse of weakness", or similar. Note: Curses are part of the WarlockCurseStrategyFactoryInternal(), so there can only be one active.
2. Firestone/Spellstone Non-Combat Strategies - Players requested to me that they can decide if they want to use a spellstone or firestone for their weapon enchant, so I added them as non-combat strategies. Spellstone is the default for affliction and demonology, firestone is the default for destro. To add these, type "nc +firestone" or similar.
3. Soul Shard Replenishment - I noticed after hours of running a server (15+ hours) that altbots and rndbots would only cast imp and not use their soul shards. This is because they were actually running out of soul shards, without the ability to maintain themselves accordingly. I added a trigger (no soul shard) and action (create soul shard) that triggers if they are out of soul shards, creating only 1 soul shard (to not clog up the inventory). This way, you should never have a warlock using the wrong pet, or failing to cast shadowburn, failing to create soulstone/spellstone/firestone/healthstone, or failing to cast soul shatter.
4. Tidying up the code -
I removed the built-in curse code from the DPS strategies, and migrated it to the manual curse strategies.
I clumped the curse triggers and actions together in the associated files.
I added logic for Curse of Weakness to check for conflicting debuffs.
I moved the summoning strategies and curse strategies to their own strategy factories - WarlockPetStrategyFactoryInternal, and WarlockCurseStrategyFactoryInternal. This way they can only have one curse and one pet strategy active at once. I also renamed the "NonCombatBuffStrategyFactoryInternal" to "WarlockSoulstoneStrategyFactoryInternal", which was more accurate.
I changed a single talent point in the Affliction Warlock PVE spec, taking one from destructive reach and adding it into nightfall for those sweet, sweet free shadowbolts.
I added "ss self" as the default non-combat soulstone strategy, as before, they didn't have one assigned. The player can still of course remove that NC strategy and apply another, such as "ss master", "ss tank", or "ss healer".
I re-implemented the pet strategies into the "general" strategy area of the WarlockAiObjectContext, and it worked!!! Finally! The issue before was they were under the "Buff" area of the aiobjectcontext, which can only have 1 active at any given time - this is why the soulstone strategy and the pet strategy were cancelling out each other. Now, pets are summoned via a non-combat strategy that is assigned with aifactory by spec!
Hello community,
This PR focuses on 4 things:
Recognizing the Warlock as a "ranged" bot, so they will follow ranged commands and strategies, in GenericWarlockStrategy.h:
uint32 GetType() const override { return CombatStrategy::GetType() | STRATEGY_TYPE_RANGED | STRATEGY_TYPE_DPS; }
Cleanup/deletion of the DpsWarlockStrategy.cpp and .h (no longer used or referenced anywhere)
Fixes soulstone logic so multiple Warlocks don't soulstone the same target, and don't try to soulstone a target that is too far away or out of line of sight (WarlockActions.cpp)
Moved summoning of pets to the main non-combat strategy inittriggers:
// Pet-summoning triggers based on spec
if (tab == 0) // Affliction
{
triggers.push_back(new TriggerNode("no pet", NextAction::array(0, new NextAction("summon felhunter", 29.0f), nullptr)));
}
else if (tab == 1) // Demonology
{
triggers.push_back(new TriggerNode("no pet", NextAction::array(0, new NextAction("summon felguard", 29.0f), nullptr)));
}
else if (tab == 2) // Destruction
{
triggers.push_back(new TriggerNode("no pet", NextAction::array(0, new NextAction("summon imp", 29.0f), nullptr)));
}
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.
