Enable bots to do Outdoor pvp (#2217)
## Pull Request Description
Bots will now engage with outdoor pvp targets when in an area with them.
I carved this out of the guildrpg system Im working on since it should
work just fine as a standalone. Note this requires a core update
https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/pull/25103

## Feature Evaluation

Its not expensive. the status checks are fairly light and simple. Should
be on par with current rpg system actions

## How to Test the Changes

You can try to use selfbot to enable this while in EPL, or set the
probability of all other rpg actions to 0.

Feat. Enable multi node flying, and refactor into travel manager (#2156)
# Pull Request

Feature - Enable multi node flying for bots
- Bots currently only do node to node flying. This PR makes it so they
can connect multiple noted.
-- This is enabled by sending a vector containing the node sequence
instead of a single destination node
-- To minimize the run-time cost of searching for available nodes and
connection, a cache of all possible connections is prepared at start up
using a BFS search algorithm.

Refactor 
- Move all world destination logic (cities, banks, inns) to existing
Travel manager
- Eliminate flightmastercache and integrate to new manager
- replace SQLs calls with in-memory data search by core
- Add in new map that stores creature areas by template. 

Clean up
- Move other rpg files to related folder. 
(Next steps) The selection for where bots fly to should be smarter than
it is. Instead of trying to determine where a bot can go, it should
first decide where it should go, and then identify the correct way to
get there.

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior?
- Describe the **cheapest implementation** that produces an acceptable
result?
- Describe the **runtime cost** when this logic executes across many
bots?

---

## How to Test the Changes

- Step-by-step instructions to test the change
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, bots, specific
configuration)
- Expected behavior and how to verify it

## Complexity & Impact

Does this change add new decision branches?
- - [x[ No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**describe and justify impact**)

Could this logic scale poorly under load?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain why**)
The call itself is fairly infrequent, and although now there are a
greater number of paths available for the bots, I dont think it would be
significant.

## Defaults & Configuration

Does this change modify default bot behavior?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain why**)

If this introduces more advanced or AI-heavy logic:
- - [x] Lightweight mode remains the default
- - [ ] More complex behavior is optional and thereby configurable
---

## AI Assistance

Was AI assistance (e.g. ChatGPT or similar tools) used while working on
this change?
- - [ ] No
- - [x] Yes (**explain below**)
Gemini first suggested the use of a BFS algorithm. This was rewritten by
me to actually work as intended. Verification by additional logging not
present in final code.

Claude code converted the SQL filtering to the atrocious if statements
found in PrepareDestinationCache, but after verifying them it works. If
there are better ways to do this Im open to it.

Fix rest of trainers' related stuff + codestyle changes and corrections (#2104)
# Pull Request

* Fix the rest of the trainer-related functionality: list spells and
learn (cast vs. direct learn) spells.
* Rewrite `TrainerAction`: split the logic between appropriate methods
(`GetTarget`, `isUseful`, `isPossible`) instead of pushing everything
inside a single `Execute` method.
* Change method definitions to remove unnecessary declarations and
parameters overhead.
* Move the `Trainer` header into the implementation. Rewrite
`RpgTrainTrigger` to fit the original logic and move all validation to
`RpgTrainAction` (`isUseful` + `isPossible`).
* Implement "can train" context value calculation to use with
`RpgTrainTrigger`.
* Update and optimize "train cost" context value calculation -- it
should be much faster.
* Replace `AiPlayerbot.AutoTrainSpells` with
`AiPlayerbot.AllowLearnTrainerSpells` and remove the "free" value
behavior — please use `AiPlayerbot.BotCheats` if you want bots to learn
trainer's spells for "free".
* Add `nullptr` checks wherever necessary (only inside targeted
methods/functions).
* Make some codestyle changes and corrections based on the AC codestyle
guide.

## Design Philosophy

We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over
behavioral realism.
Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its
negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and
long-term robustness.

Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU
usage, and degraded performance for all
participants. Because every action and
decision tree is executed **per bot and per trigger**, even small
increases in logic complexity can scale poorly and
negatively affect both players and
world (random) bots. Bots are not expected to behave perfectly, and
perfect simulation of human decision-making is not a
project goal. Increased behavioral
realism often introduces disproportionate cost, reduced predictability,
and significantly higher maintenance overhead.

Every additional branch of logic increases long-term responsibility. All
decision paths must be tested, validated, and
maintained continuously as the system evolves.
If advanced or AI-intensive behavior is introduced, the **default
configuration must remain the lightweight decision
model**. More complex behavior should only be
available as an **explicit opt-in option**, clearly documented as having
a measurable performance cost.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

## How to Test the Changes

Force bots to learn spells from trainers using the chat command `trainer
learn` or `trainer learn <spellId>`. Bots should properly list available
spells (`trainer` command) or learn them (based on configuration and
command).

Stage1 refactor world position method names (#2126)
# Pull Request

This change replaces the non‑standard
WorldPosition::getX/getY/getZ/getO/getMapId wrappers with the core
getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetOrientation, GetMapId) and removes the
redundant wrappers.
Goal: align the module with AzerothCore conventions, reduce local
adapters, and improve long‑term maintainability.

---

## Design Philosophy

This is a structural cleanup only (coordinate access) and does not alter
any AI behavior or decision logic.
It follows the stability/performance-first philosophy and does not add
branches or extra runtime work.

Before submitting: yes, this change aligns with the principles of
stability, performance, and predictability.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

---

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Minimum logic required: use core getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetMapId,
GetOrientation) wherever coordinates are needed.
- Cheapest implementation: direct call replacement and removal of
redundant wrappers.
- Runtime cost: negligible (same data access, no additional logic).

---

## How to Test the Changes

- No functional testing required (behavior‑neutral refactor).
- Recommended: compile the module and run a normal server startup as
validation.

Create Flightmastercache to handle finding the nearest flight master. (#1979)
Refactor the flightmastercache the bots use for finding the nearest
available flight master.

I made a small change to how the original function worked by storing the
database position for the flightmaster in the cache itself. This allows
us to calculate the distance from bot before accessing the creature
object, should be faster overall.
