Dawn of Light

Hi there,

here are two things I figured out while testing something for the tutorial zone.

The training dummy loses health down to 10%, but it shouldn't lose any health at all.

Current:

Code: Select all

public override int Health
{
get
{
return base.Health;
}
set
{
base.Health = Math.Max(1, value);

if (HealthPercent < 10)
{
base.Health = MaxHealth / 10;
}
}
}

Fixed:

Code: Select all

public override int Health
{
get
{
return base.MaxHealth;
}
set
{
}
}

OnAttackedByEnemy does not update LastAttackTick correctly. This makes NPCs stop attacking the dummy after a few seconds.

Current:

Code: Select all

public override void OnAttackedByEnemy(AttackData ad)
{
// put the dummy in combat mode to reduce regen times
LastAttackedByEnemyTickPvE = CurrentRegion.Time;
return;
}

Fixed:

Code: Select all

public override void OnAttackedByEnemy(AttackData ad)
{
if (ad.IsHit)
{
if (ad.Attacker.Realm == 0 || this.Realm == 0)
{
LastAttackedByEnemyTickPvE = CurrentRegion.Time;
ad.Attacker.LastAttackTickPvE = CurrentRegion.Time;
}
else
{
LastAttackedByEnemyTickPvP = CurrentRegion.Time;
ad.Attacker.LastAttackTickPvP = CurrentRegion.Time;
}
}
}

The patch file fixes this problems .

Hi Are,

Did this behaviour is suitable for the training dummy in MagMell too ?

Thank you for the contribution !

These dummies are for the tutorial zones and work just like them, last I tested. Their health reduces to a small amount and then stays there. What dummies are you comparing too?

hmmm... The dummys from the Alb tutorial zone from Pendragon. I'll test that again later this day. Thanks for the info

Can you tell me, where those dummys are located exactly? I'll search them too and do the same tests .

They are in magmell near the nightshade trainer; external side of a building

Tutorial dummies are in the starting keep, level 1 - 5, lined up against the wall as you come out the door.

Yes, I tested with this guys. But I'll to the tests again, to see if they are really loosing healthpercent.


Edit: Ohhh you are talking about the Dummys you have to hit for the quests in the Tutorial zone (Youtube Link). Maybe they act a little different then the dummys I was talking about. Interesting...

Thx, that should help me finding them .

Are, if i speak about them, this is simply because afaik they are the only Dummy class in the code so i simply don't want your changes got side effect on them

TYVM for the work

Yes, I understood that . I Just didn't know, that there were dummy mobs outside of the tutorial zone .

We have different Dummy types!

This is the dummy in front of the keep in the tutorial zone (Quest dummy):

This mob is loosing HP down to 0%

This dummy is located to the right side of the keep in the tutorial zone:

This mob is not loosing any HP

This dummy is located in Mag Mell:

This mob is not loosing any HP


So, I think it would make sense to make GameTrainingDummy an abstract class and say him wether he looses HP or not? Or what do you think?

I rather see a flag in the constructor, *if* this is the only change (and i guess it is) but...

Not sure about what i'll say, but let me explain exactly the point i have in mind: the training Dummy in magmell is often used to check the cap of styles, unstyled etc... If we can only see this because the training dummy is loosing hp, then it is interesting to keep this behaviour.

In the case the damage cap (if you are 50 and training dummy is 1 ofc) is displayed in the log file, having the training dummy with hps set to w/e we want is not a problem. It is not necessary to create an abstract class nor using a bool IsLoosingHp in the constructor to set this (while the work of setting an IsLoosingHP is so easy that we could handle it).

You know what? We have that flags column in the mob table ... let's use it for this!

/smells a "Brownfield" application

Hm, thats a nice idea.
