Caster Mobs problem

[Dantes777]

Good day everyone. I am facing one problem when mobs after casting does not follow enemy player.

For example vile familiar (ID=3101) casts fireball at you, during cast you hide behind mountain and when vile familiar understands, that you are in los, he will just stand and not come to you

this is some problem with default behaviour of casters.

While in "cast-mode" they stop moving and cast.

This casting fails because of LoS isssues.

If you are too far way they will start following, until they are near enough for casting.

So much for explanation, but as this is a fairly complicated problem for the AI, I don't know yet how to outline a proper solution.

Well they wont run after you even when you are 150f away from them(tested in Scarlet Monastery).

Maybe you could tell me which file contains this mechanic so we can add additional missing ones.

such behaviour is usually scritped with EventAi, for which acid is the most commonly used project. It can be found on sd2 forums www.scriptdev2.com
