AI for creatures and bosses

This is kinda a idea / suggestion...

I know that spells for bosses and creature etc are now done by the sql table rather then script base. My idea is can we still use our old AI's for example attack actions and messages etc and just take out the spell tables in the AI and leave it up to the sql server to handle.

example:

Code:: #Ragnaros AI Module by KremLiN 30.05.2006
from Ludmilla import * # Import server environment
from random import * # Randomiser Import
import config as cfg # Import of configuration constants
reload(cfg)
import consts as co # Import of constants
reload(co)
import const_skills as skill_co # Import of constants (skills)
reload(skill_co)
import const_spells as spell_co # Import of constants (skills)
reload(spell_co)
import player_class as player_cls
reload(player_cls)
import support as supporter
reload(supporter)
from time import localtime

DISABLE = FALSE = NULL = co.FALSE

# function SoneDelete()-delete son of flame around ragnaros if one exit in combat
def SoneDelete(ptrCls, self):
_list= self.MapRangeUnitList()
for _unit_ in _list:
if _unit_.IsNPC():
if _unit_.GetEntry() == 12143:
_unit_.Die( TRUE ) # this will remove creature from server, if TRUE from DB also

# called by core on every Creature Update
def OnUpdate (ptrCls,time_diff,self):
pass

# -- EOF --

basicly script has alot more then just spells so we just take the spells out and make it so the mob does more then slash and cast spells

Hya,

I think I have been misunderstood;

It's not a problem to have custem AI for special bosses like Raggie, but my point was, it's a bit weird to write 50.000 custom AI's for every single creatures.

That is also the reason why loading of default ai have been moved to bottom of startup_qm.py. If the creature is already registered by custom py, it will automaticaly be skipped when registering default_ai.

So, if you want the script in, just register it before default_ai registers.

Due to instability I recommend to pospone it to c4??

[edit: oops, for some reason it's on top again...will update as soon as svn start working again ]

kinda what I am saying bring in AI scripts for bosses only without there spells in the AI lettting the basic spells for the creature load from sql database. For instance I am have been working to try to clean up dragon type ai's basicly which would give a dragon attack primary attacker (rather then by Aggro thus making tank prime target) giving them some basic though process in a fight for example running away staying and fight so forth basicly bring in general scripts for creatuers again

na what I am asking is without having to rewrite every single Ai script so the spells and what not are current with the spell database etc. can we just take out spells from all custom ai's and use the sql default creature spell database to handle creatures spells and still use custom AI scripts to handle the creatures actions

so basicly when ya encountered a creature:

creature would look for all his spells out of the sql creature_spells table

and the creatures actions would be pulled from python custom scripts (by actions I mean sittings, standing, running away, who the creature should look to attack etc.)

mean this way we only have to right complex spells into a creature's ai... example: Ragnaros have his sons and submersion scripted and his regular fire spells running off his default scripts in creature_spells table

hm yes thats the idea
writing like default behavior for all commong living self flee and shit..
and yet they all have default sql using for their coresponding spells
yes could be done
