[SOLVED] SmartAI is causing NPCs to respawn invisible

[Teryaki]

Hey there EmuDevs!

As the title states, whenever I use SmartAI to have a mob cast something, or do something special, it respawns invisible. Meaning it still attacks you, but the model isn't there, its just an invisible mob attacking the players. The core is a bit older. I have under "AIName" column in the DB as "SmartAI." I have nothing going wrong with the actual SmartAI functions, those are all working properly. Its only when a NPC respawns.

Here is a Youtube video kinda of showing what is happening.

If anyone knows what is causing this issue, some help would be appreciated! I cannot locate what is going on.

Thanks again,

Teryaki

Looks normal to me, from what I can see, but looks like you typed a command right after the NPC died.

Hmm yeah, it looks like my friend used a command. I was testing it when killing normally and same result happened. When the creature respawned it was invisible but still attacking. I will see if I can post another video when I get home from work.

Thanks

Yea, since he was using a registered GM account while recording, kind of defeats the purpose of showing what bug it is. Best to double check and see if you have invisibility spell attached to the SmartAI. Most cases it will happen.

Hey there,

Sorry for the late response. I have recorded a couple videos showing this happening on both a normal player and GM account.

I noticed that when I killed the mobs on my normal character, the mobs came back as invisible. When I logged into my GM character the creatures were there, and kept respawning no matter if I had GM on, or off. When I logged back into my first character, the NPCs were still invisible. A restart of the server fixes this problem, but persists after killing the mob again. Is there a problem with a DBC file possibly? I notice that SmartAI is working properly, and I only added one spell to the mobs (cast the 12% damage reduction upon combat, etc)

I hope this could get resolved, I have looked and looked and haven't figured out what is causing it. I suspect a DBC problem, but not sure what DBC could be causing it. (Sorry for three videos, I kinda just recorded and uploaded, didnt have time to edit them all together.)

Thank you!

Try to see if this might be from custom scripts. I'm not seeing this on my server at all.
I'll do some more research on this.
