healing spells not agroing?

[KLS]

It's a known problem with healing spells, they wont generate aggro unless the character has established aggro already.

is there a fix? or maybe if i add extra hate to the spell its self with a spell editor will that do it?

dang thats makes raids ultra easy...
basicly the logic of heal agro should work like this:

if player X has agro with mob Y, then ANY beneficial spell cast on player X will be tracked to ist soruce (the caster) and caster placed on mobs hate list

[spider661]

i wonder if you could use the quest system to make them get agro then if its like it says once they are on the hate list then they build agro..

i remember seeing something about when a spell is cast on the npc.. maybe check if its a heal spell then if it is put them on the hate list with some agro from the heal type. then there on the hate list and build agro?

ya would this not working looking at it i think it would

Added on 4/26/08 quest event EVENT_CAST_ON will trigger if a player casts on a npc.

then use the mob quest object
AddToHateList(other, hate= 0, damage= 0, iYellForHelp= true, bFrenzy= false, iBuffTic= false)

im not sure what other means though

[spider661]

ok so far i have this to test

sub EVENT_CAST_ON
{
$mob->AddToHateList(other, hate= 100, damage= 1)
}

prob is im still learning the scripting for eqemu.

what is other, would that be the player? and how would i get the player object its the one that last cast the spell so is there an object for that or would it jsut be $client?

if the heal aggro code is currently broke, maybe fix it like this:

Existing Code:

else if (IsBeneficialSpell(spell_id) && spelltar->GetHateAmount(this) > 1)
		entity_list.AddHealAggro(spelltar, this, chekHealAggroAmount(spell_id));

Option A:
else if (IsBeneficialSpell(spell_id) && spelltar->IsEngaged()) {
        Mob* targetstarget = spelltar->GetTarget();
        targetstarget->AddToHateList(this->CastToMob(), CheckHealAggroAmount(spell_id));
}

Option B:
else if (IsBeneficialSpell(spell_id) && spelltar->IsEngaged()) {
        Mob* targetstarget = spelltar->GetTarget();
        entity_list.AddHealAggro(targetstarget, this, CheckHealAggroAmount(spell_id));
}
