[HELP]Making an NPC fly...

[jedybg]

Im working on some sort of custom Onyxia version for my server... so I sutck up at getting Onyxia in the air. Can someone give me a hand in doing so ?

Thanks Jedy

PS: other problem is "how to make cast the tail spell ONLY if the target is behind "

You must use MOVEMENT flags on the boss to make them fly. Just see Illidan script or something else for example.

I don't think anyone has actually gotten this working on mangos.

Just use InhabitType |= 4 ? (5 for ground+air, 7 for water,ground and air) in creature_template ?

Mangos fixed movement of flying creatures sometime ago and it works as good as it should.

and yes, might also need movementFlag = 1024 in creature_template_addon(creature_addon)

Illidan use emote 450 for phase 2

You either have pretty outdated mangos or doing something wrong cause for me they are working just like on blizz (for ~2 weeks already)

Well, our server is still at 3.1.3 (because of DB and there was problem with instances), and on test (rev. 8690 now) they do same thing - yes, they are above ground, but if they use random movement or WP, they "jumps over the sky". If they should not move, they falls down when they are in visible range of player. I will try update our test server....

EDIT: Yes, you are right, they are working great now. Anybody knows which commit fixed this?

[maly32167]

Its rev 8647 cause our server is on 3.1.3 too and we just backported this for getting it working

im trying to get ony to fly as well to waypoints but she just walks to them in the air and i cant figure out how to make her fly. her spawn location that i want her flying around is a custom made outdoor area.

Doesn't work as it should also with 0.12 branch even with the correct creature flag. I would really like to see which commit fixed it cause it looks strange when creatures jump in the sky.

Testing Sapphiron I saw spell Hover (http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11010) when the dragon was in phase 2. Anyone can confirm that this spell is using in every "flying" encounter? I think it may help with correcting for example Onyxia or Sapphiron.

[Nonid]

Nope, this is used only as "hack" for this fight, this spell is mainly used by GMs, not by NPCs

[Patman128]

The spell Hover does not actually cause the flying animation when testing with mangos-0.12.

[darkstalker]

flying onyxia was working on latest sd2 releases, pretty good script.

[crashuncle]

Emotions aren't a problem but all "normal" flying creatures are one in Mangos, at least in the 0.12 branch it doesn't works at all also with the correct DB flag.

Any updates about this issue?
