Deprecated Darkstar fourms

So, I have noticed, sic seems to work, SMN bloodpacks work, but the ready ability always shows nothing, even when the jug pet should have abilities.
I would like to look into creating this, but I need to understand more of how the pet abilities work.
Can anyone explain to me where to find the smn pet abilities?
I know the actual smn abilities are scripted here: https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... ities/pets

But I am more curious where the info is that says "x pet has y ability". Then I can see if I can recreate this for the ready ja.

Ready would be so nice to have working. I just don't have the time with real life stuff to go through it.

If I'm with you, your looking for how the smn pet abilities work?

Seems like the core of what is calling those scripts is built in luautils.cpp:
https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... autils.cpp

From Line 3284:
int32 OnPetAbility(CBaseEntity* PTarget, CBaseEntity* PMob, CMobSkill* PMobSkill, CBaseEntity* PMobMaster)
{
lua_prepscript("scripts/globals/abilities/pets/%s.lua", PMobSkill->getName());

If your looking for the checks to ensure the player/pet can use the ability, I am 98% sure it is all handled client side. closet thing I see if a query to database to get pet skill list:

https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... tutils.cpp
Pet->m_MobSkillList = (uint16)Sql_GetUIntData(SqlHandle, 40);


There is another example for automations attachments:

Line 1911:
int32 OnManeuverGain(CBattleEntity* PEntity, CItemPuppet* attachment, uint8 maneuvers)


Both of these are what is exposing the entities from C to Lua. The lua is setting the proper directory for pets in line 3225:

int32 OnAbilityCheck(CBaseEntity* PChar, CBaseEntity* PTarget, CAbility* PAbility, CBaseEntity** PMsgTarget)

.....
if (PAbility->isAvatarAbility())
{
memcpy(filePath, "scripts/globals/abilities/pets/%s.lua", 38);
}

lua_prepscript(filePath, PAbility->getName());

if (prepFile(File, "onAbilityCheck"))
{
return 87;
}

hope this helps. I noticed the ability ready already has an id located in ability.h, so it likely needs only the ready.lua file to be made in srcipts/abilities/:
https://github.com/DarkstarProject/dark ... /ability.h.

The above file also lists all smn pet abilities at around ID number 246 + , it also appears to list all the pet jug abilities that ready could provoke (saw a few around ID 719).

click line number when viewing on github and copy from address bar/right click line number and copy/paste the link, github auto scrolls to that line number
