Resolved [3.3.5] How to allow hunters to shoot in melee range

[Reloac]

Even with modifying SpellRange.dbc and removing flags 2 client still sends CMSG_ATTACKSWING. I'm wondering if there is a clean solution for this. I can just make hunters if they have a bow force ranged autoshoot on that packet but that leads to other problems like client being desynced and the client messing animations up

Changing how the server handles the opcode that stops auto spell cast does bug out the client animations, I suppose?

Well since the client was patched, that opcode is not sent anymore as that resets the client variable s_autoRepeatingSpell in that function

void __cdecl Spell_C_CancelAutoRepeat(char p_SendPacket)
{
    WGUID v1; // rax
    _DWORD *v2; // eax
    void *v3; // esi
    WGUID v4; // rax
    void *v5; // eax
    char v6; // [esp+0h] [ebp-24h]
    int v7; // [esp+14h] [ebp-10h]

    if ( s_autoRepeatingSpell )
    {
        if ( p_SendPacket )
        {
            CDataStore::InitPacket2((CDataStore *)&v6);
            CDataStore::PutInt32((CDataStore *)&v6, CMSG_CANCEL_AUTO_REPEAT_SPELL);
            v7 = 0;
            ClientServices::SendPacket_1((CDataStore *)&v6);
            CDataStore::ReleasePacket2(&v6);
        }
        v1 = ClntObjMgrGetActivePlayer();
        v2 = ClntObjMgrObjectPtr(v1, TYPEMASK_PLAYER);
        v3 = v2;
        if ( v2 )
        {
            CGUnit_C::ToggleFieldB70_Flag_0x200(v2, 0);
            CGUnit_C::sub_72AFE0(v3);
        }
        sub_806440(s_autoRepeatingSpell);
        if ( s_autoRepeatingSpell )
        {
            s_autoRepeatingSpell = 0;
            if ( !dword_D397CC )
            {
                FrameScript::SignalEvent(EVENT_STOP_AUTOREPEAT_SPELL, 0);
                if ( s_autoRepeatingSpell )
                {
                    v4 = ClntObjMgrGetActivePlayer();
                    v5 = ClntObjMgrObjectPtr(v4, TYPEMASK_PLAYER);
                    CGUnit_C::sub_6D5F70(v5);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Hmm sorry no idea ?‍♂️

I'll be sort of available in a few. Got Discord? If so, add me: Dandi#2828
We'll figure this out together. I'll document here if a solution has been found.
Please get AnyDesk or TeamViewer and forgive me in advance as I'm at work via laptop so I might pop in and out depends on the work I've got.

So based on feedback from other devs it does indeed seem this needs a client modification. And funny enough modifying the client allows you to actually melee and use bow at same time on an unmodified trinity, so that's a new exploit I guess.

Wouldn't it be possible to adjust this without a patch?


I'm thinking DBC or spellmask.

try make hunters' Auto Shot ability usable in melee range by modifying the SpellRange data for the Auto Shot spell in the spell_range table in the database. Try set the minRange field to 0 and see if it makes any difference. It's important to note that modifying the range of abilities like this can have unintended consequences and may not be balanced though..

There might be spell flag u might need to check. Not sure about this but this could be a case.
