Mobs/Gobs you can see from far away

[dardennf]

Hi everybody.

I was wondering if mangos have implemented this kind of mobs, who can be seen from a very long distance, compared to others classic creatures !

Like this well known Fel Reaver.

In a similar way some gobs need to be seen from further than others.

Do you think IT could be implemented ?

Thanks, and sorry for my english.

I know what u mean, on retail server it is necessary because otherwise rar mob farming would be impossible with a /target makro

On mangos, creature and go simply (visual) despawn for the player, after moving closer the creature spawns (appears).

An impletmentation would be awesome...

Up, what do you think about this feature ?

Could we add a field to gameobject_template or creature_template in the DB or does it need a specific way for only a little amount of creatures and need to be hardcoded in the core ?

the problem is that visibility is limited by size of the grids (There was a patch attempting to fix this from silverlight, but I don't think it was every applied). You can search around for it. After that patch is applied you should be able to set a flag for specific creature visibility though it would need to be implemented.

view distance should scale with model size in this case
