Theurgists Eviscorated for Seige?!?

[WisdomConners]

Why can earth pets no longer be cast on Doors in RvR for seige purposes? This was THE only thing I ever took my Theurgist out to RvR for.

[Roozzz]

Theurg pets have several bugs if I recall correctly from the last time I played my theurg here. Many of them were reported and dont know if they are fixed yet, guess not.
Among them: Pets move to slow, they are vurnerable to cc and indeed this one.

Well this seems more like a casting bug than just a pet bug. On Live I was able to cast Theurgist Ice and Wind blasts on doors as well (Not that those did any damage), so it appears that all that needs fixing is the ability to cast on the doors. They shouldn't return "Invalid Target" messages. It should be a simple fix.

Actually many spells should be castable on keep doors and walls. Casted DD or a pbaoe for example, they do do damage on live to keeps. Also on live posisional styles work on all seige but here they do not. I spam PA on siege all the time on live or a side style if I am on the side. Here you always fail the style and can't cast any spell on an object.

Code: Select all

public virtual bool IsAllowedToCastSpell(GameLiving caster, GameLiving target, Spell spell, SpellLine spellLine)
{
//we only allow certain spell targets to be cast when targeting a keep component
if (target is GameKeepComponent || target is GameKeepDoor)
{
switch (spell.Target.ToLower())
{
case "self":
case "group":
case "pet":
break;
default: return false;
}
}
return true;
}

That is the reason why, new logic needs to be added.

Where did it go? I may be misremembering here, but I could have sworn I took a few towers when the server was running 1.901 by casting earth pets on the doors. Maybe I just dreamt it....wierder things have happened.

You'd want something like

Code: Select all

case "enemy":
{
if (spell.SpellType == 'Summon')
return true;
break;
}

I haven't even tried it on my own server. I was talking about for Storm. I'm not quite ready to step up and do coding for my own test server yet.

Indeed, you can't cast PBAOE spells with the keeps or keep doors targeted. Very annoying, especially since there is no actual RvR and the only RP comes from PvEing keeps.
