Range/LoS Check workaround in LUA for casting creatures

[cabfever]

Hey everybody,

I talked with Antz and we got an idea how the range/LoS problem could be fixed by a workaround in lua until we get a propper fix in c++.

It should look something like this:

If {npc}:IsWithinLoS({player}) = false

{npc}:StopSpellCast()

{npc}:MoveChase({player})

But I can't speak LUA so I cant attach this to all creatures.

So I need your help!

[MENTION=2723]Foereaper[/MENTION] can you take a look at this as you are an LUA guy

This wouldn't necessarily work as the methods are simply exposed core functions. If those core functions do not work by default, then this probably won't either. What exactly is the said issue though?

Maybe something like this?

function all_creatures(pUnit, Event)
if unit:IsWithinLoS == false then
unit:StopSpellCast()
unit:MoveChase(Player)
end
end

function CREATURE_MoveInLOS(event, creature, unit)
if (unit:IsWithinLoS == false)  then
if (unit:GetUnitType() == "Player" and creature:IsWithinDistInMap(unit, 15) and unit:IsInAccessiblePlaceFor(creature)) then
creature:MoveChase(Player)
end
end
end
