Kierax the Energy Wielder

[bob_the_builder]

Wondering if anyone has issues with there bots not attacking the Kierax the Energy Wielder guy. I move them in range but they don't cast spells... seems to be a distance problem or Y access thing. (X, Y, Z)

I put them as close as possible and even set them to MT and MA, mob is always hurt but they never cast on it.

Well any suggestions?

Bob

I haven't boxed this zone in a week, but a couple of weeks ago I had the same thing and Pygar patched the Z-axis problem. Seems someone is putting it back into the code without telling Pygar about it and it's preventing the bots from hitting him.

I just checked the changes that pygar did back on Dec. 4th with regard to the Y plane (what you guys often call the Z plane), and the changes are STILL in the current version of eq2bot.

So, there must be something else that needs to be adjusted or whatever, but all of the changes that Pygar did back around Dec. 4 are still in the bot. No one is reverting or changing it.

(Note: You can see what he did around line 4729 ...search for "Shit")

Best guess as to what's occurring here is a distance problem. If something is using the 3D distance instead of the 2D distance, it will show as Out of Range, and thus, not cast anything. I haven't actually looked to see if this is the case, but it would be an alternate explanation for the same thing. Possibly whatever checks the distance from the MA before we start assisting, should be changed to 2D distance instead of 3D.
