Years later, we are deploying the last of the large systems before moving to a new add-on, which, however, needs to be completed. As always, it is no exception in Trinity to put on unfinished business. Therefore, it is up to us again to complete and tune them to perfection. This is a new NPC movement system depending on the terrain and surrounding objects. What does that mean? Mobs and artificial intelligence will finally start looking for available paths, such as the player himself could take, which in practice means that if there is a gap between you and the mob, he will not go the shortest distance to you no matter what is between you, but he will find a suitable path, if there is one. No more strange walking through the air and over a straight line, but depending on the surroundings. This system is not at all a simple matter and has been developed for several years by several people and will affect almost all systems in the game. Thus, the behavior of bosses, spells and others and it is necessary to transform all similar systems into a new one that seems to work at first glance. There will also be “hacks” in systems that had to be done temporarily before the system was put into operation, and these temporary solutions will now manifest as weak or poor functionality of these systems. That is why it is up to you to put it together. The given system affects more than it might seem ovlivňuje for example, random walking in fears, the functionality of “charge” spells, mob evade, instance, walking NPC, behavior of pets, minipets, etc. There is not much, but certainly nothing that we could not handle. This system will also allow us to finally put into operation instances such as Violet Hold, where new mapping and walking systems are needed. Not only that, NPCs and mobs will walk naturally and by the rules. I hope I’ve at least brought this change a little bit closer to what we’re putting on now, and I hope everything goes without any major complications that could make you uncomfortable playing.
