[1.12.1] Check for mob evade / evasion state / can't be attacked

[soulzek]

How can I determine if a mob is evading outside of combat - in particular to when it aggro'd another player and is returning to its spawn position?

I have considered the following:

-Movement state can only tell me if the mob is moving or not, which they do passively regardless of evasion, so it's too ambiguous.

-I could check the mob's movement speed, but I don't know how to find that (I don't see it listed under descriptors or offsets from this forum) or if local mob information even has that available.

-Is it hidden under mob flags or dynamic flags somewhere?

-I know I could keep a record of mobs that have previously had a target within a certain amount of time and are no longer in combat, but I really don't want to do that as it seems too convoluted.

I do not believe that is sent to the client at all. Server side a mob is considered to be in evade mode when it is using Home Movement Generator.

Assuming you hook into the client's Lua event handler, you can check for UNIT_COMBAT events.
In wRobot's API (1.12 bot) it could look similar to this:

public static void Start()
    {
        EventsLuaWithArgs.OnEventsLuaWithArgs += LuaEventHandler;
    }

    public static void Stop()
    {
        EventsLuaWithArgs.OnEventsLuaWithArgs += LuaEventHandler;
    }

    private static void LuaEventHandler(LuaEventsId id, List<string> args)
    {

        if(id.ToString() == "UNIT_COMBAT" && args[0] == "target" && args[1] == "EVADE")
        {
            Fight.StopFight();
            Lua.LuaDoString(@"
                SpellStopCasting();
                ClearTarget();
                PetFollow();
            ");
        }
    }

You can detect it by checking the speed of the unit and comparing it to the standard value. It works decently enough:

public bool IsBeingReseted => NominalSpeed > Miscellaneous.MobRunningSpeedThreshold && !InCombat;

With MobRunningSpeedThreshold == 7

And to get nominal speed: 0xA2C
