##  Custom AI how-to

##  Basic movement/attack routines for ranged and melee pets:

##
## Melee

Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #Moves in melee range.
Target  Distance    =   1       Attack(melee)       #When in melee range, attack.

## Melee with shadow step and swarm

Target  Distance    >   9       Move Forward        #Go close enough to use Shadow Step.
Target  Distance    >   1       Shadow Step         #Teleport to target when not in melee range.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #Go to melee range when shadow step on cooldown.
Target  Distance    =   1       Swarm               #Swarm when in melee range.
Target  Distance    =   1       Attack(melee)       #Melee attack when swarm on cooldown.


##
## Ranged

Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #Go to maximum ranged distance allowed.
Target  Distance    =   1       Move Away           #Retreat when target is in melee range.
Target  Distance    <=  5       Attack(ranged)      #Attack target.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move(forward)       #Get closer to target when line of sight is obstructed(go around the corner for example).

##  Move away directive in the above example may conflict with the last move forward, making pet go back-and-forth.

## Ranged with short teleport and struck out

Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #Go to maximum ranged distance allowed.
Self    Buff        !=  Space Retention AND         #Space retention makes teleports fail.
Target  Distance    =   1       Short Teleport      #Use short teleport when in melee range.
Target  Distance    =   1       Move Away           #Retreat when target is in melee range under space retention effect.
Target  Distance    <=  5       Struck Out          #Struck out when in range.
Target  Distance    <=  5       Attack(ranged)      #Attack target when struck out on cooldown.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move(forward)       #Get closer to target when line of sight is obstructed(go around the corner for example).

##
## Magic
##  is, as expected, tricky - pet can go out of mana or become silenced.
## obviously you can disregard the risk of silence or going out of mp and make it much simplier.

## Bolt spells, hybrid mage+ranged
Target  Distance    >   9       Move Forward        #Get within maximum bolt range.
Self    MP          <   10%     AND
Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #Get in ranged attack distance when low on MP.
Self    MP          <   10%     Attack (ranged)     #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), attacks hostile target with ranged weapon when out of MP.
#example of darkenss bolt check, may be used to apply other debuffs instead
Self    Buff        !=  Silence AND
Target  Status      !=  Blind   Darkness Bolt       #Keep target blinded.
#end of example
Self    Buff        !=  Silence (arrow spell)       #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), use spell when not silenced.
Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #Get in ranged attack distance when silenced or cannot use spells (target not in line of sight).
Self    Buff        =   Silence Attack(ranged)      #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), attacks hostile target with ranged weapon when pet is silenced.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #When not silenced or out of MP yet cannot use bolt spell, get closer to target.

## Bolt spells, hybrid lightning mage+ranged
Target  Distance    >   9       Move Forward        #Get within maximum bolt range.
Self    MP          <   10%     AND
Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #Get in ranged attack distance when low on MP.
Self    MP          <   10%     Attack (ranged)     #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), attacks hostile target with ranged weapon when out of MP.
Self    Buff        !=  Silence AND
Target  Status      !=  Wet     Water Bolt          #Make sure target is made wet first, bells and quickling die from this alone.
                                                    #No check for MP since its a cheap spell.
Self    Buff        !=  Silence Lightning Bolt      #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), use spell when not silenced.
Target  Distance    >   5       Move Forward        #get in ranged attack distance when silenced or cannot use spells (target not in line of sight).
Self    Buff        =   Silence Attack(ranged)      #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), attacks hostile target with ranged weapon when pet is silenced.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #When cannot attack, get closer.

## Bolt spells, pure mage
Self    Buff        =   Silence Move Away           #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), will move away from hostile target when silenced.
Target  Distance    >   9       Move Forward        #Get within maximum bolt range.
Self    MP          =>  10%     (arrow spell)       #KEEP TARGET should be set to (off), will shoot bolt when not out of mana.
Self    MP          <   10%     Move Away           #Move around when out of mana.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #When not silenced or out of MP yet cannot use bolt spell, get closer to target.

## Lightning/water ball spells, melee mage
Target  Distance    >   9       Move Forward        #Get close enough to use Shadow Step.
Target  Distance    >   3       Move Forward        #Get close enough to use ball spell.
Self    Mp          =>  10%     AND
Target  Status      =   Wet     Thunder Vortex      #Use lightning ball on wet target.
Target  Status      !=  Wet     AND
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #if water ball below didnt hit the target, get around the corner.
                                                    #It may still have a problem getting in range when target is already wet yet around the corner.
                                                    #You may use Target Distance    >   1 instead of > 3 instead to avoid this.
Target  Status      !=  Wet     Water Ball          #Make target wet.
Target  Distance    >   1       Move Forward        #Get in melee range when all else fails.
Target  Distance    =   1       Attack Melee        #Melee attack when all else fails.
