[Question] Attackable

[SinnerG]

Anyone know how to detect if a target (or if possible: any 'unit' object) is attackable or not?

Having issues detecting this. Will I need to read the factions dbc for this or is there another solution?

i'm sitting on this problem too.
at the moment i check via race, type & range, but it doesn't work so well.

anyone found a way or have an idea without using factions dbc?

Attack it, and see if you enter combat?

        /// <summary>
        /// Returns true if the unit is not attackable
        /// </summary>
        public bool IsNotAttackable
        {
            get
            {
                return Convert.ToBoolean(Flags & (uint)Helper.UnitFlags.NotAttackable);
            }
        }

just check the flags... if it is !IsNotAttackable I'd say it is attackable, right ?

edit: just looked it up and found that it wont do much good...you can always use factions

edit2: you can also just use CGGameUI__UnitReaction. I think it will be easier than factions...maybe wrong though

Yeah, the flags are mostly useless ^^

Guess there is no other (out of process) solution than using the factions.

        public bool Attackable
        {
            get
            {
                return (UnitFlags & 0x10382) == 0;
            }
        }

It's a mask of a few flags that can cause attackability to turn 'off'. All the flags should be off if the mob is truly attackable.

Edit: this will also make sure that any neutral NPCs that are attackable at certain rep ranges, are properly marked as not-attackable when neutral. (e.g; Booty Bay, Gadgetzan, Ratchet, etc)

Doesn't work for everything : The NPC @ Northshire Valley are correctly marked non-attackable, the wolves as attackable, but the 'Riding White Stallion' is also marked as attackable

thanks apoc for the "unitflags" hint, but i got no useful results from it.

maybe i looked at the wrong flags. what offsets your code refers to?

UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS, UNIT_FIELD_FLAGS_2,
UNIT_DYNAMIC_FLAGS, UNIT_NPC_FLAGS
