Ok.

Some more info: I noticed that they slide on the ground when they die really close to the mob they are running to. They don't reach him (the guy who is supposed to help), but they are in his aggro range (IMO).

EDIT: It just happened with Syndicate Assassin almost reaching a Syndicate Enforcer to help.

Yes. Be sure to save the diff in unix format (LF) before applying it.

I applied the patch but it doesn't seem to do anything when i'm ingame: i go to a human, i attack him, he gets veryvery low, then (if i understood well) he must go call for backup but instead he's there attacking me.. i applied both the patch for mangos and the one for sd2, what am i missing here? thanks

[przemratajczak]

yup now it is binding to src. thx for suggestion

graftal afaik it should be called by eventai action. have you modified eventai_scripts record for tested creature?

NPC is calling assist event when under roots effect.

[Neo2003]

NPC is calling assist event when under roots effect.

If the npc is near enough from the assistants, I think this is correct.

To prevent a npc from getting assistance, you must not let him go close of the assistants.

Of course I can have made a mistake but I think offy works like this.

[przemratajczak]

i meant he is walking with roots on himself

[Edoz]

did you make it so that auras that prevent fleeing (judgement of justice) don't make the npc call assistance?

[Neo2003]

i meant he is walking with roots on himself

I tried many .cast 19975 in various situations and could not reproduce such problem on 3.0.9 core.

Can you elaborate and tell when this happen ? When creature random flee ? when it flee to get assistance ? when it return back to combat walking ?

did you make it so that auras that prevent fleeing (judgement of justice) don't make the npc call assistance?

Not yet. I don't know how to see this status and I don't plan to hard-code any spell/aura id, I hate all these hard-coded ids in core.

[Neo2003]

Patches updated to prevent mobs with anti-flee aura to flee and some other minor changes.

3.0.9 on rev7511. everything is fine. (problem with 2.4.3?).

Neo are u sure that they should run? koz i've checked on offi* few:

(example: entry 2949 , 2951 , 2950 etc.)

.. and all of them just walking (faster than normal walk , but still they walking when looking for help , and the same when they comming back with someone ,the same walk (little faster than normal).

please look on this avi:

I checked again and your right, the don't run but walk fast.

I will try to make same for both when they flee and when they return.

[Grz3s]

hmm

strange.. but all humans doing exactly that like in your patch... they using "run" when they flee and comming back.

example:

EDIT:

ok i've been checking on offi per few hours....and now im sure how does it looks like.

creatures doing like u said (same for both -flee , -return) walk faster than normal.

only humans runing like in your patch, but they return with run option as well .

Regards.

Neo, please, could you make branch for this and add it to github ? It would be easier and better to git pull than download, and apply patch..
