Function SetInCombatWithZone

[Samuell.Sk]

Rescent commits allowed us to have scripts in world_template which is great, but not all functionality is supported. Will be anytime soon function "SetInCombatWithZone" (located in Creature.cpp) ,implemented ?

What about other functions like this which require "IsDundeong" check , will be they available ?

SetInCombatWithZone for contient, lol. I not think that you want set all players in map in combat

And this implemented in diff way recently:

Need set extra flags for boss in DB creature_template

CREATURE_FLAG_EXTRA_AGGRO_ZONE = 0x00000200, // creature sets itself in combat with zone on aggro

Ofc, work only in dungeons.

But if see some cases where you think IsDungeon not appropriate. Points to it directly i can review this cases.

How do world bosses work? Who gets in combat with the boss when it is pulled?

You can think of my case as an "open dungeon". Place which is "continent" but only from dbc point, there are mobs/bosses and players can enter place whenever they want (just like continent), but its content is dungeon like.

Thank you for pointing out http://www.just-whatever.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/captain-obvious.jpg

That much i already know, so lets go back to the original question, are there any plans for implementing it ? If you want more real usage, its used during aq gate opening where whole kalimdor will be "in combat" for 10 hours if i remember correctly.

I doubt very much that attacking a worldboss will have any impact on nearby players (who are not related to the attack)

If you have very strong reason to believe otherwise, perhaps a simple radius (like 100y) will do the trick alright.

in continent with big chance anything like works as area pulse effect from boss casted spell.
