[3.3.5] "Earthgrab Totem" chases target

[Treeston]

Branch 3.3.5, rev 774ea0b, TDB 335.59

Creature-summoned Earthgrab Totem will chase its target, when it should be immobile (as it's a totem, duh).

[P-Kito]

uhm... really? I cant believe :D

[Killyana]

If the npc enter combat when it's rooted it will enter in evade mode: #15304

Thanks for the link, Killyana. I knew I have read about this problem before, but could not find it by searching only for "Earthgrab Totem", because it is reported as Mosh'ogg Witch Doctor & Ward of Laze.

@Treeston can you provide the npc that summon this totem?

[Treeston]

One type of thistleshrubs in Tanaris (I believe it is Gnarled Thistleshrub), and I also vaguely remember seeing it in Stranglethorn somewhere.

This arisen because of http://www.wowhead.com/npc=670/skullsplitter-witch-doctor a7fcd11a0/sql/old/6.x/world/01_2015_03_21/2015_07_03_05_world_2015_05_26_06.sql#L94 which fixes it for above case and since there is only one entry for the npc 'Earthgrab Totem' probably fixes all.

DELETE FROM `smart_scripts` WHERE  `entryorguid`=6066;
INSERT INTO `smart_scripts` (`entryorguid`, `source_type`, `id`, `link`, `event_type`, `event_phase_mask`, `event_chance`, `event_flags`, `event_param1`, `event_param2`, `event_param3`, `event_param4`, `action_type`, `action_param1`, `action_param2`, `action_param3`, `action_param4`, `action_param5`, `action_param6`, `target_type`, `target_param1`, `target_param2`, `target_param3`, `target_x`, `target_y`, `target_z`, `target_o`, `comment`) VALUES

Root inhabittype maybe?

[ghost]

Sounds plausible, worth trying. PR #17543 (Core/Creature: implement INHABIT_ROOT to apply UNIT_STATE_ROOT to creature) makes this alternative available:

-- set InhabitType INHABIT_ROOT for NPC entry 6066 Earthgrab Totem
UPDATE `creature_template` SET `InhabitType`=`InhabitType`| 8 WHERE `entry`= 6066;

#17543 already merged @tkrokli ... so any news on this? :)

[ghost]

Thank you for reminding me about this, @Keader . Have you tested my query to see if it works?
If it doesn't work alone, will it work with dr-j's SAI in #15651 (comment) ?

Nops, just looking around some old tickets ^^
