Dodge Modification

[kreegoth]

Is it possible to somehow lower the dodge conversion from AGI to dodge? i am using arc emu and looked in Unit.h and Unit.cpp as i found a post here saying that but couldnt find anything to alter.

The problem im having here is most rogues and hunters on the server can max out to 95% dodge easy.. and it gets to the point where even the raid bosses cannot melee them as they dodge everything.

So i either need to find a way to raise the bosses Chance to hit them ( which i think would be the better option )

Or find a way to globally reduce dodge from Agility or to lower dodge period.

I can see in player.cpp and player.h that there are values that can be modded to change a classes base and by level dodge but that isnt really what im looking for.

Thanks in advance

float Player::GetDodgeChance()
{
	uint32 pClass = (uint32)getClass();
	float chance;

	// Base dodge chance
	chance = baseDodge[pClass];

	// Dodge from agility
	chance += float( GetUInt32Value( UNIT_FIELD_STAT1 ) / dodgeRatio[getLevel()-1][pClass] );

	// Dodge from dodge rating
	chance += CalcRating( PLAYER_RATING_MODIFIER_DODGE );

	// Dodge from spells
	chance += GetDodgeFromSpell();

	return max( chance, 0.0f ); // Make sure we don't have a negative chance
}

That's in Player.cpp

You can probably play around with that code and modify it to your servers needs.

Edit:

You seem to be more fond of modifying the players dodge chance vs creatures, so look below.

			if(pVictim->m_stunned<= 0)
				{
					// can dodge as long as we're not stunned
					dodge = plr->GetDodgeChance();
				}

Thats in Unit::Strike(blah, blah)

you could modify that line of code and give it a cap?

Add this below dodge = plr->GetDodgeChance();
if(dodge > 30)
dodge = 30;

It's 3:30 and i probably read the code wrong yet again, but hopefully it will still point you in the right direction/general area.

Another way you can do it (Much simpler for this) is to edit the Global Dodge Cap for all people.

Go into player.cpp, and search for dodge until you find a line containing "95.0f", edit that to the cap you want.

Then search into player.h, and find the variables, and change them so it is a reasonable amount.

Good luck!

how can i get to player.cpp? sorry im kind of new.

You need to have the core downloaded, but not compiled, then you need to open the project file, and list all the files under world, and then you will be able to see it.

how can i download the core? like i said im new, and do i need a specific program to open it? i have SVN and C++

You need to get the arcemu SVN - There are many guides under the guides forum, telling you how to do it. Good luck!

Two seconds.

Thats it i think.

Oh alright. i tryed modifying dodge rates in player.cpp and it isnt updating it on my server. is it because im using a repack?

You need to compile the core in that yourself, there are many guides in the guides forum for that. Enjoy!
