Implementing something to randomly remove crowd-control

[Cwaah]

Hi!

I have an idea, where I want to implement some kind of custom"heartbeat resist (randomly breaking CC's)" for crowd control spells on my server but I need some help/tips where I can get started. I have some basic knowledge about C++ but I need some tips before I get started. How hard could this be to do, and where would I start looking? (I don't care if I do it in a "hacky" way)

Thanks in advance

If you want tips, maybe do it in ::Update functions (either Player::Update or Unit::Update with RemoveAuraByType and urand(0, 100) < 5 for example ?

Fean, How often is player:update ran then? If its ran like each MS then you need to add a time_diff aswell, so lets say it has 1% chanse to break each second....

It is run every ~100 ms as far as I know (not sure how it differs on server basis etc but havent seen time_diff lower than 50ms ?)

anyone may correct define chances for heartbert resist on different CrowdControl effects? now i realize CC amount, but chances for HR is unknown for me.

Pretty much info you can find @

(hit rating changes heartbeat break rate where hit rating cap makes it unable to break by heartbeat also it seems it affectt PvE only (mobs))

Hmm... Thx for idea, i think, HR chance may be (100%-(caster hit chance))/ticks_count at every aura update tick. If no one offers a better method, you have to do so.

For how long has this heartbeat resist existed on retail? Since what client patch?

[sart13]

As far as I can tell, has always existed. mention there are at least starting with 2.0.1
