Lagged Boss

[Ciosny]

Hello!
I created the boss, but there is one problem.
When attacking a boss, e.g. with a Paladin, the boss runs towards the player and then suddenly stops where the player was, stands there for about a second and runs towards the player again instead of naturally chasing him without these "pauses". I don't know if the script itself has something to do with it, or maybe it's some setting in the server files where the monster recalculates the player's position, which makes it look less smooth.

Monsters calculate new walk path to target once a second.
To fix this, you need to calculate it much more often, but I will heavily increase CPU usage. Code to make it calculate walk path each time target creature moves:

If it bothers you so much, open up creature.cpp and change:

        if (hasFollowPath) {
            isUpdatingPath = true;
        }

to:

        if (hasFollowPath) {
            isUpdatingPath = false;
            g_dispatcher.addTask(createTask(std::bind(&Game::updateCreatureWalk, &g_game, getID())));
        }

Benchmarks of CPU usage and other codes that fix that issue, but use less CPU - still much more than current algorithm - are here:

well, how tittle says, when monsters is running low life, then walk 1 sqm and stop, walk another and stop, for exemple, draptor when is running he walk 1 sqm and stop and turn to the player, and co...
