Out of curiosity...
Uleat you would probably be the best person to answer this.
A rogue backstabs.
There is code allowing the rogue to position itself behind the mob so that backstab is usable.
Lets for the purposes of this example use a clock system so if the mob is on the clock face a rogue has coding to allow it to move to 12 o'clock and attack.
could we implement a check for all other classes too? So that a rogue goes to 12 a ranger goes to 4 a tank class set to taunt and tank goes to 6 else 8 or 2. Something to that effect.
This would cause bots to partially position itself in a group setting
It seems like it would have something to do with this section
Code:
if(AImovement_timer->Check()) {
if(!IsMoving() && GetClass() == ROGUE && !BehindMob(GetTarget(), GetX(), GetY())) {
// Move the rogue to behind the mob
float newX = 0;
float newY = 0;
float newZ = 0;
if(PlotPositionAroundTarget(GetTarget(), newX, newY, newZ)) {
CalculateNewPosition2(newX, newY, newZ, GetRunspeed());
return;
}
}
else if(!IsMoving() && GetClass() != ROGUE && (DistanceSquaredNoZ(m_Position, GetTarget()->GetPosition()) < GetTarget()->GetSize())) {
// If we are not a rogue trying to backstab, let's try to adjust our melee range so we don't appear to be bunched up
float newX = 0;
float newY = 0;
float newZ = 0;
if(PlotPositionAroundTarget(GetTarget(), newX, newY, newZ, false) && GetArchetype() != ARCHETYPE_CASTER) {
CalculateNewPosition2(newX, newY, newZ, GetRunspeed());
return;
}
}
Or
possibly there something to the effect of
Code:
float newX = X+(rand, 1 5);
float newY = Y+(rand, 1 5);
float newZ = 0;
I may try to implement this in the format of many if checks for all classes
Code:
else if(AImovement_timer->Check()) {
if(!IsMoving() && GetClass() == RANGER && !BehindMob(GetTarget(), GetX(), GetY())) {
// Move the ranger to below coords.
float newX = X+3;
float newY = Y-2;
float newZ = 0;
if(PlotPositionAroundTarget(GetTarget(), newX, newY, newZ)) {
CalculateNewPosition2(newX, newY, newZ, GetRunspeed());
return;
}
}
and so on but I would be happy to have another's inputs efforts go into this as well.
best place to throw an idea out and get assistance feedback!
