World Advanced Mob Targetting

This isn't that important to add, but if added, could make WynnCraft a bit more realistic.

So mobs. They act weird. A zombie could stand right next to a human and not do anything, or 2 hostile creatures that would normally attack each other (like a bandit and a wild animal) don't. We already know about the 4 basic types of mobs: Passive, Hostile, Neutral, and Guardian. I'd like to suggest some more.

Innocent: These mobs are usually mobs like civilians. If near a hostile mob, they will be a target to that hostile mob.

Hostile(Pack): Similar to hostile mobs, but attack any mob that comes near except their own species.

Hostile(Solo): Attack ALL mobs, including their own species.

Inanimate: These mobs are usually things like quest items or suspicious chests. They are never the target to mobs.

Boss: These tough hostile mobs are never the targets to other mobs. Wouldn't want your own minions attacking you, now would you?

Neutral(Pack): If this neutral mob is attacked, ALL nearby mobs of the same species will join the fight.

If there's the choice between a mob and a player, the mob will ALWAYS choose the players.

 

I just want to point out that hostile mobs attacking everything in sight already exist (at least the last time I checked, based on mobs in the surrounding area).

 

like antipodes :D

 

Slave guards +99999999

 

Poll please

 

I like this but "Advanced Mob Targeting" sounds better as if this suggestion is literally more complex mobs.

 

Really? The only times I've ever seen hostile mobs attack each other is when a ranged mob accidentally hits a neutral/hostile mob and they end up fighting.

 

This case and Antipode are the only two cases I know of pertaining to mobs attacking eachother.

 

go to the hive and find some Purple Worms or Antipodes at freezing heights
it's called the "Berserk" AI tag

 

The corruption doesn't attack villagers because "the monsters feud and curse was upon the human race, not the villagers."

 

There are six AI types, if you include berserk and another one which I forgot, where the mob runs when hit

 

This is a really good idea. Like a really nice one. But then the mobs that attack everything be like... also helping the players to kill enemies... like help distract other mobs instead of focusing on the player. +0.5

 

this is really fucking hard

 

You get what I mean. Any civilian next to a zombie isn't attacked.

 

*confusion*
You mean they don't attack the humans living in the towns? Yeah I agree: That doesn't make sense.

 

Yeah that's exactly what I mean. Sorry for the confusion.
