CanAttack: Enables the mob to attack/retaliate when you are within attack range. Note that this only enables them to use normal attacks, skills are always allowed. Looter: The mob will loot up nearby items on the ground when it's on idle state. Aggressive: normal aggressive mob, will look for a close-by player to attack. Assist: When a nearby mob of the same class attacks, assist types will join them. Cast Sensor Idle: Will go after characters who start casting on them if idle or walking (without a target). Cast Sensor Chase: Will go after characters who start casting on them if idle or chasing other players (they switch chase targets) Boss: Special flag which makes mobs immune to certain status changes and skills. Plant: Always receives 1 damage from attacks. Detector: Enables mob to detect and attack characters who are in hiding/cloak. ChangeChase: Allows chasing mobs to switch targets if another player happens to be within attack range (handy on ranged attackers, for example) Angry: These mobs are "hyper-active". Apart from "chase"/"attack", they have the states "follow"/"angry". Once hit, they stop using these states and use the normal ones. The new states are used to determine a different skill-set for their "before attacked" and "after attacked" states. Also, when "following", they automatically switch to whoever character is closest. Change Target Melee: Enables a mob to switch targets when attacked while attacking someone else. Change Target Chase: Enables a mob to switch targets when attacked while chasing another character. Target Weak: Allows aggressive monsters to only be aggressive against characters that are five levels below it's own level. For example, a monster of level 104 will not pick fights with a level 99. NoKnockback: Monsters will be immune to Knockback's. Random Target: Picks a new random target in range on each attack / skill. (not implemented) Aegis Mob Types: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Aegis has are mob-types, where each type represents an AI behavior that is mimicked by a group of eA mode bits. This is the table to convert from one to another: Aegis/eA (description) 01: 0x0081 (passive) 02: 0x0083 (passive, looter) 03: 0x1089 (passive, assist and change-target melee) 04: 0x3885 (angry, change-target melee/chase) 05: 0x2085 (aggressive, change-target chase) 06: 0x0000 (passive, immobile, can't attack) [plants] 07: 0x108B (passive, looter, assist, change-target melee) 08: 0x6085 (aggressive, change-target chase, target weak enemies) 09: 0x3095 (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, cast sensor idle) [Guardian] 10: 0x0084 (aggressive, immobile) 11: 0x0084 (aggressive, immobile) [Guardian] 12: 0x2085 (aggressive, change-target chase) [Guardian] 13: 0x308D (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, assist) 17: 0x0091 (passive, cast sensor idle) 19: 0x3095 (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, cast sensor idle) 20: 0x3295 (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, cast sensor idle/chase) 21: 0x3695 (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, cast sensor idle/chase, chase-change target) 25: 0x0001 (passive, can't attack) [Pet] 26: 0xB695 (aggressive, change-target melee/chase, cast sensor idle/chase, chase-change target, random target) 27: 0x8084 (aggressive, immobile, random target) - Note that the detector bit due to being Insect/Demon, plant and Boss mode bits need to be added independently of this list.
