Bug 297: (zippyzee) Can't hit pulled mobs

[BugTracker]

Bug ID       : 297 - Can't hit pulled mobs 
Bug Date     : 2015/10/21 10:56:40
Assigned To  : zippyzee
Priority     : Low

Category     : VGClient
Sub-Category : Gameplay: Combat
Severity     : Severe (e.g. Exploitable)
Reproducible : Every time

Details:
It appears monsters remember only the spot they were pulled at. If you pull them away from that spot, you cant hit them and they cant hit you due to range, but they will follow you. Combat works again if you stand back on the spot they were standing just before the pull.

Details:
If it helps determine the bug during coding, the bug where you arent in range of a target (and vice versa) unless you are withing range of its spawnpoint appears to have another facet to it.

Even if you are standing on the spawnpoint and the target paths well away from you, it can still hit you, but you cannot hit it i think.

I dont know if that helps cut down the relevant codelines for you guys

Did something revert on this? I fixed this exact issue a few weeks before. I'll take another look.

This is pretty much impossible to test, since all mobs die with one hit. We need to get that fixed.

If it continues, it is not a behavior I see in Windows builds. It appears to be some difference in converting doubles to floats and losing the precision due to rounding errors. The NPCs are moving to a new location in the client but not updating their current location properly, so the server thinks they are still standing on their original spot. I believe we had a discussion on this a month or so ago and some of us could replicate and some of us could not.

The same goes for hailing an NPC while they are roaming.

Again, New Telon is a Windows build. Only my Targ server is Linux. On the bug tracker page, it should show what server the bug was reported from.

And, this is also an October bug, need someone to tell me if it's still happening.

And yes, we need to fix the level 70 NPC that dies with 1HP damage. Not sure how that happened, but I'm suspecting new Attributes code since I'm sure nothing in Questing affected HP.

[zippyzee]

Ah, I thought they were both running on Linux. That's good to know.

I can't replicate it myself locally. I put in a debug line to show me my target's x and y position and they are updating correctly. I could also hit mobs and start combat while they were roaming from one position to the next.

I do have an update that I can try if it is still doing this, which makes all the calculation variables doubles.

There was a rare Zippyzee sighting on New Telon this morning. I can't replicate this, so I assume this is from before the previous fix.

There should be more sightings, though for now we're just chalking this up to too much moonshine.
