Old Problem with Bot Pet Agro on Player

[Huppy]

Having a problem with bot pets agro'ing on players. I read an old post about it,
but there was no fix with it. Mentioned something about spells, but I haven't
made any custom spells on the server. So far it's got what came with the peq.
One player brought it to my attention, then I tested it myself a couple times
and the bot pet instantly started agro'ing when it spawned and I grouped with
the bot. Tried zoning to see if that cured, but no success.

Here's something interesting (and funny), hahaha
I spawned my shaman bot, which also spawned his pet. The pet didn't agro me, but I thought
I would log another toon on, to see what happens.
Me and my bot, with pet, met up with my lvl 11 halfling war in Misty who was standing by
Deputy Felp. Right away, the bot pet agro'd on the little war, BUT as soon as that agro
started from the pet, Deputy Felp joined in and killed my little halfling warrior.
Some halflings are just not loyal to their own citizens, hahaha

Just noticed on the shaman bot pet (wolf - npcid 551), he spawns with loot on him, lol
Few pieces of Serpent Shedding (id 32654) and one Stone Snake Meat (id 32655)
The loot id in table is "0"

I tried something out with the spawn of the npctypeid 551, which is listed in table by name,
'shaman_wolf_67_'
I did an npc spawn of that ID, which of course popped up the shaman wolf. No loot on him,
no agro, nothing. Then I tried spawning the same one with faction of 67 (just fishing here).
Definately got the agro, like I do with the bot pet spawn.
So now, are these bots spawning their pets with a faction ? The incident I posted above
with the guard in Misty got me really interested in this. It's fascinating. (smirk)

There was something else I wanted to mention, when I was checking out a players' bot pet,
with the agro thing, I used the GM #kill on the pet and the bot owner said he got experience
from it, hahaha (This was in the guild lobby)

Also, I noticed, when I had my own shaman bot spawned, at lvl 85, the pet would not agro me
unless I sat down. Whether I was grouped with bot or not. But while I was sitting and getting
those "not a legal target Master" spam messages with agro, I noticed the shaman bot kept
sitting for a brief second (like he was trying to med) and standing. This only happened when I
was grouped with bot. But each time he sat, the agro "X" indicator went away, then back when
he stood up.
If I wasn't grouped, as soon as the agro started, sometimes the bot would go invis.
(target ring stayed on him), but had to zone before I could respawn a bot.

Could be a wrong npc type being loaded..never really looked into that.

Ya, its almost like the pet is being spawned as a mob, instead of player pet.
