Crow	6b0df4ff6c	Fix ambiguous item parsing in bot text (#2356) ... ## Pull Request Description This change fixes two cases of broken bot text with respect to inventory items. 1. Reserved inventory qualifiers such as "mount," "food," "drink," etc. no longer also trigger generic item name matching. I first noticed this problem when my resto Shaman who had the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon in her inventory would repeatedly give error messages of failing to use it while mounting (because mounting also causes bots to use items that fit the reserved "mount," which due to this bug, also caused bots to try to use any item with "mount" in its name). 2. Custom cast output text no longer reports an inferred bag item as the spell target for normal unit-targeted casts such as "cast chain heal on Keleborn." There was a bug where the action would first parse the actual target and then parse the spell text and then try to match the last word of the string to a bag item (so the bot would say it was casting chain heal on a healing potion, even though the heal was in fact cast correctly on a player). ## Feature Evaluation - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. - Add a reserved-qualifier check in InventoryAction::parseItems() so reserved selectors do not also run through FindNamedItemVisitor. - In custom cast output text, choose the displayed target based on the actual target type already resolved for the cast. - It does not change mount selection behavior itself. - It does not add new spell-target parsing rules. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. - None. ## How to Test the Changes Reserved qualifiers: 1. Give a bot in your party the "Mounting Vengeance" weapon. 2. Mount up, and the bot should mount too without saying anything (before the fix, the bot would say it is using the weapon and that the item was not found). Spell cast text: 1. Give a bot an inventory item whose name overlaps with part of a spell name, such as a healing potion. 2. Command a bot to cast some heal on a player. 3. The bot should cast the spell on the intended player (as was the case previously), and the status text names the player instead of the inventory item. ## Impact Assessment - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - [x] No, not at all - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - [x] No - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - [ ] No - [x] Yes (**explain below**) Very minor changes. InventoryAction gets one explicit reserved-qualifier guard. Custom cast text selection becomes more explicit about which target type should be displayed. ## AI Assistance Was AI assistance used while working on this change? - [ ] No - [x] Yes (**explain below**) GPT-5.4 was used to trace the relevant code paths for the errors and propose the changes. ## Final Checklist - [x] Stability is not compromised. - [x] Performance impact is understood, tested, and acceptable. - [x] Added logic complexity is justified and explained. - [x] Any new bot dialogue lines are translated. - [x] Documentation updated if needed (Conf comments, WiKi commands). ## Notes for Reviewers --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Revision <tkn963@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: kadeshar <kadeshar@gmail.com>	2026-05-08 22:41:54 -07:00

Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> Fix for issue #2343 I excluded the MISC and FISHING POLE weapon subclasses from weapon enchants. MISC includes the entry profession "weapons" (skinning knife, mining pick, blacksmithing hammer, arclight spanner) and some other crap that I suspect is not enchantable, but even if it is there's no good reason to do so (like Brewfest steins). The subclass doesn't include weapons that can be used for professions but you might actually want to use for fighting (like Finkle's Skinner). To clean things up overall, I removed the intermediate class CastEnchantItemAction between CastSpellAction and CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and CastEnchantItemOffHandAction. CastEnchantItemAction is not doing anything helpful that can't easily be replicated in the MH/OH classes, and I can't think of any future reason for keeping CastEnchantItemAction. I also brought the CanCastSpell check into the MH/OH classes--previously it just wasn't run for the weapon enchant spells, and I can't think of any good reason why it shouldn't be. I also added Execute functions to both CastEnchantItemMainHandAction and CastEnchantItemOffHandAction so they actually directly cast the enchant on the specified hand instead of running through CastSpellAction's Execute (and thus going through item for spell). I wasn't having problems with the wrong hand being applied under the prior approach, but this is a more direct and better approach anyway. Other changes are just formatting. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots.

Submit your PR to the test-staging branch, not master. 2. Read the guidelines below before submitting. 3. Don't delete parts of this template. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: We prioritize STABILITY, PERFORMANCE, AND PREDICTABILITY over behavioral realism. Every action and decision executes PER BOT AND PER TRIGGER.

Bots don't need to behave perfectly; believable behavior is the goal, not human simulation. Default behavior must be cheap in processing; expensive behavior must be opt-in. Before submitting, make sure your changes aligns with these principles. --> ## Pull Request Description <!-- Describe what this change does and why it is needed --> 1. I've been having persistent issues with Enhancement Shamans sometimes applying Rockbiter to both weapons instead of MH Windfury and OH Flametongue. Rockbiter is the alternative for Flametongue and, through Flametongue, the alternative for Windfury. But there seemed to be no obvious reason why a Shaman that had all three abilities would ever use Rockbiter, which costs more mana than Windfury and Flametongue. Claude's take on it is that there is instability from ItemForSpellValue related to its poor way of distinguishing handedness, in addition to it having a 1-second cache, which can cause in some scenarios stale caches for the action running on each hand back-to-back. I still can't say I fully understand why the issue exists, but the most straightforward fix that should prevent this from happening is to just have separate mainhand and offhand actions for each enchant. So that's what this PR does. The relevant ActionNodes are now: - The MH-specific chain for Enhancement is WF -> FT -> RB. In practice, Enhancement should never apply RB because all Shamans under level 10 (when FT is learned) are considered Elemental. The FT -> RB node is just for Elemental. - The MH-specific Resto chain (not that Resto can dual-wield) is EL -> FT -> RB. Againt, FT -> RB is just for Elemental. - OH for Enhancement is only FT. You cannot be Enhancement before level 10, nor can Enhancement dual-wield before level 40, so no alternative is needed. 3. I commented out Frostbrand Weapon actions/triggers because the ability is not included in any strategy. I didn't delete the code because in the future somebody might want to implement it as I understand it can be useful for Enhancement Shamans in PvP. 4. Shamans are coded to use "cure poison" and "cure disease", which do not exist in WotLK, having been combined into Cure Toxins. Wishmaster has PR #1844 that has been open on this for a long time, but I decided to correct the abilities here anyway as he was going for a more limited approach, and I decided to rename all the actions and redo the structure to rely on ActionNode alternatives, which is pretty much the exact framework that should be used for this type of situation w/r/t bots. Now, Shamans prefer Cleanse Spirit (Resto talent, which costs the same as Cure Toxins and also dispels curses), with an alternative of Cure Toxins (for poisons and disease only). I tested this and it seems to work well. 5. I deleted empty ActionNodes. 6. I did some cleanup of formatting and such, but this is not intended to be a comprehensive refactor. ## Feature Evaluation <!-- If your PR is very minimal (comment typo, wrong ID reference, etc), and it is very obvious it will not have any impact on performance, you may skip these question. If necessary, a maintainer may ask you for them later. --> <!-- Please answer the following: --> - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior. - Describe the **processing cost** when this logic executes across many bots. I've followed the general intended structure of class strategies with triggers and actions. The same triggers exist, just different actions are called based on the trigger that fires, so I don't think there should be any impact on performance. ## How to Test the Changes <!-- - Step-by-step instructions to test the change. - Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, number of bots, specific configuration). - Expected behavior and how to verify it. --> The best way to get a grasp on if things work is probably to just do group play for a while with Shamans and make sure they apply the right enchants and properly cast Cleanse Spirit and Cure Toxins. ## Impact Assessment <!-- As a generic test, before and after measure of pmon (playerbot pmon tick) can help you here. --> - Does this change increase per-bot/per-tick processing or risk scaling poorly with thousands of bots? - - [x] No, not at all - - [ ] Minimal impact (**explain below**) - - [ ] Moderate impact (**explain below**) - Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain why**) Shamans previously did not cure poisons or disease at all, and now they do with the default "cure" strategy applied. - Does this change add new decision branches or increase maintenance complexity? - - [ ] No - - [x] Yes (**explain below**) One might say having separate actions per hand for enchants is somewhat more complex, but ultimately I think it is less confusing to keep those paths separate. ## Messages to Translate <!-- Bot messages have to be translatable, but you don't need to do the translations here.

Keleborn	957eca0263	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.

Keleborn	2ce8993986	Correct Loot rolling behavior (#2190) ... # Pull Request This fixes the loot rolling behavior issue created by #2068 . Introduce the ability for enchanter bots to disenchant items they dont need, and roll need on recipes they also need. Make it so ITEM_USAGE_AH ensures the item is not BOP. Try to reduce the call for item_usage in CalculateRollVote by passing usage if available. --- ## 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. --- ## Feature Evaluation Please answer the following: - Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended behavior? -- Add a new check that downgrades greed rolls to desired levels, or bools for the other two options. - Describe the **cheapest implementation** that produces an acceptable result? -- As implemented. - Describe the **runtime cost** when this logic executes across many bots? -- Same as before. Item usage is the heaviest part, and that hasnt changed to accommodate this. --- ## How to Test the Changes - multiple bots in a group with group loot on, do a dungeon or something. One bot should be an enchanter. ## Complexity & Impact Does this change add new decision branches? - - [ ] No - - [x] 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**) --- ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [ ] No - - [X] Yes (**explain why**) - - - Corrects the looting behavior to original design.

Alex Dcnh	ca19548cc5	Fix transport boarding when master is on a transport (Zep/Boats) (#1830) ... Summary This PR improves Follow related behaviour when the master is on a transport (zeppelin/boat). It makes follow actions safer and less disruptive by: Detecting when the master is on a transport and handling boarding correctly Avoiding teleport-under-floor issues by using a small positional offset when teleporting the bot near the master Preventing movement conflicts between MoveSpline/MotionMaster and the transport driver by forcing a MotionMaster cleanup and MoveIdle after boarding Clearing movement flags (forward / walking) after boarding so the bot does not remain in a walking/march state Next-check delay after boarding to allow the server to update transport/position state Before this change, bots get stuck when attempting to board Fight the server-side transport movement because local MoveSpline/MotionMaster was still active Repeatedly attempt movement on every follow tick while already a passenger, causing jitter and CPU/noise This PR reduces stuck/jitter cases, avoids conflicting movement commands, and makes boarding more robust. **Key changes** Check master->GetTransport() and handle three main cases: If bot already passenger of same transport: stabilize (StopMoving, Clear(true), MoveIdle, StopMovingOnCurrentPos) and set a longer next-check delay; return false (no new movement in theory). If bot passenger of another transport: do nothing (avoid conflicting behaviour). If bot not a passenger of master transport: teleport bot near master (with offsets) and call Transport::AddPassenger(bot, true), then force: bot->StopMoving() bot->GetMotionMaster()->Clear(true) bot->GetMotionMaster()->MoveIdle() Remove movement flags MOVEMENTFLAG_FORWARD and MOVEMENTFLAG_WALKING SetNextCheckDelay to random 1000–2500 ms Log boarding with bot name, transport GUID and coordinates Preserve earlier follow logic when master is not on a transport Tests performed Manual tests on a local server: Master on boat/zeppelin -> bot teleports to a safe offset position and becomes a passenger without getting stuck Bot already passenger on same transport -> bot no longer issues movement commands and stabilizes Bot on a different transport -> no boarding attempt for master's transport (no interference) Movement flags cleared after boarding; bot stops local movement and does not fight server transport movement Now the bots follow their masters in the zeppelins and boats, although sometimes they move around a bit inside when the zeppelin starts (they must have smoked something bad). --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: bashermens <31279994+hermensbas@users.noreply.github.com>	2026-03-13 22:21:17 +01:00

Alex Dcnh	18bd655869	Restore Naxx Strategies without core dependencies (#2031) ... ### Summary This PR restores the Naxxramas raid strategies that were removed in commit 686fe513b25bbb20ccfcc89f08ee8c4b498a263e . The reintroduced logic is core‑friendly (no AzerothCore script headers or internal boss AI/EventMap dependencies), and the Naxxramas actions have been refactored into per‑boss files for better maintainability. ### Motivation The previous removal was meant to avoid core modifications and unblock upstreaming. This PR brings the strategies back while adhering to that requirement, using only observable state and mod‑playerbots helpers. ### What’s included - Re‑enabled the Naxxramas strategies previously removed. - Replaced core script header dependencies with observable checks (auras, casts, unit flags, flight state, etc.). - Split the Naxxramas action logic into per‑boss source files to avoid a “god file” and ease future maintenance. - Minor, non‑intrusive behavior improvements aligned with existing helpers. ### Future work Some strategies may still require refinement or more advanced handling later. This PR focuses on restoring the baseline logic without core dependencies, while keeping changes minimal and safe. **Any contributions are welcome to further improve and fine‑tune the Naxxramas strategies.** ### Testing Tested in some Naxx boxx. No server crash and boss killed :D Note: I'll make another PR with revised scripts when this one are merged --------- Co-authored-by: Keleborn <22352763+Celandriel@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: bash <hermensb@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Revision <tkn963@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: kadeshar <kadeshar@gmail.com>	2026-03-06 07:57:21 -08:00
NoxMax	b7b67e0fd9	Feat/Fix: Expand follower bot flightmaster distance search and use correct config patterns (#2140) ... # Pull Request Feat: A common problem I have with follower bots is that if I quickly run up to a flightmaster and select a destination, as I go on my way, the bots can't get on a damn bird and say "Cannot find any flightmaster to talk". Guy was 8 yards away and they're completely blind to him. This is because when you select a destination, at that moment the bot would check `GetNPCIfCanInteractWith` from core, which uses `INTERACTION_DISTANCE`, which is defined as 5.5 yards. So the bot has to have caught up with you to be within 5.5 yards of the flightmaster. This PR expands that distance to use our own `sPlayerbotAIConfig.farDistance`, which is by default set to 20 yards. So just as long as bots have caught up to be within 20 yards from the flightmaster, they will follow you. Fix: While I was doing this, I noticed that the timings for bot flight staggering (introduced in #1281) are defined in TaxiAction and PlayerbotAIConfig. So I removed their definitions from TaxiAction, made proper calls to the configs, and renamed them to similar format that other configs use. --- ## 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.

Changes here use a minimal amount of code to accomplish the objective, including using pre-defined distance values rather than creating new ones. Changes have no effect on processing. --- ## How to Test the Changes For expanding flightmaster search distance: You will be using the `stay` command. A bot commanded to `stay` will still take a flight with you, if it is near a flightmaster. So you can use the command to position the bot exactly where you want it to be 1. Place your follower bot immediately next to the flightmaster 2. Take a flight and the bot should follow. Nothing new here 3. Place the bot about 12 yards away from flightmaster. 4. Take a flight and the bot should follow. Same as before. 5. Repeat again, but this time place the bot 22 yards away. It should not follow you and instead say "Cannot find any flightmaster to talk" 6. The change should work correctly with `InstantFlightPaths = 0` in worldserver.conf, or if it's set to 1/2 and bots can instantly fly. For the config of staggering: 1. Make sure `InstantFlightPaths = 0` in worldserver.conf. 2. Change the timings in playerbots.conf under the `# FLIGHTPATH` section. 3. Changes should be correctly reflected in world. ## 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**) --- ## Defaults & Configuration Does this change modify default bot behavior? - - [x] No - - [ ] Yes (**explain why**) Follower bots search a slightly bigger distance for nearby flightmasters.

privatecore	2f7dfdbbfc	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>`.

Keleborn	3db2a5a193	Refactor of EquipActions (#1994) ... #PR Description The root cause of issue #1987 was the AI Value item usage becoming a very expensive call when bots gained professions accidentally. My original approach was to eliminate it entirely, but after inputs and testing I decided to introduce a more focused Ai value "Item upgrade" that only checks equipment and ammo inheriting directly from item usage, so the logic is unified between them. Upgrades are now only assessed when receiving an item that can be equipped. Additionally, I noticed that winning loot rolls did not trigger the upgrade action, so I added a new package handler for that. Performance needs to be re-evaluated, but I expect a reduction in calls and in the cost of each call.
