Return of Reckoning

[Pathfinding Introduction]

You may have noticed until now creatures, pets, etc, when aggroed, would walk directly towards your player in a straight line. Weather that be through walls, up ledges or through the ceiling. Pathfinding allows us to generate a path between 2 points in the zone which goes round trees, up stairs, over bridges, etc. Pathfinding allows us to enforce physical boundaries on non-player characters, e.g. NPCs, as their collision is not handled by the client.



[Uses]

Here is a list of things currently using pathfinding:

• Grimmenhagen Burning Quest Villagers

• NPC Chase (When aggoed)

• Pet Attack (Note: Pet Recall does not use pathfinding at the moment)

[Current Zones]

• Nordland

• Norsca

[Demos]

Here you can see some examples of the pathfinding being used:

Please post bugs on the bug tracker as usual https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues. However feel free to further discuss things here.

Engineer and magus pet are moving and following enemies like the WL and SQuiq pet

This is pretty great, finally lords will stop going through the floor

Squig pet movement is pretty broken. https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues/14896

Now that the squigs move new bugs appeared:https://github.com/WarEmu/WarBugs/issues/14906

Apart from the bugs this is pretty impressive.
