Mob Not Using TP Moves

[andyplaysgames]

Hello,
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I am trying to investigate why certain mobs are not using their TP moves.
For example:
Gargouille in Abys-Vunkerl do not seem to use any TP moves, but Garouille in Glacier [S] seem to use them like normal.

This led me to suspect there is something missing in the code for the Abyssea version of those mobs but I can't seem to find where that would be handled.

There are many (especially in SoA) mobs that don't seem to have TP moves attached to them and I would like to get that going on my server to I can learn the BLU spells for them in the normal way.

Thanks!

Most of Abyssea is still missing, and that is the same for a lot of 76+ content. It slowly getting worked on but it does need captures for it. If you plan adding these to your side, I would advise making a module so it does not get over written. If you have correct info needed you can push upstream.

So,
I did seem to find a solution (mostly). It seems these mob abilities weren't in the scripts/actions/mob skills folder. I found similar spells and named them the ones that were missing. So I got chapuli to use 3 out of the 4 of their spells. They still aren't using Nature's Meditation for some reason but the other three they are now using. I got Maroliths to use subduction and acuexs to use Foul Waters in this same way.
However Umbrils are using quadav skills such as headbutt and shell bash. Not sure why that is.
Also I was able to spawn Colkhab, give her the ability to use Droning Whirlwind since she wasn't using any of her abilities and then able to learn it.
Obviously none of this is very clean, and not at all bug free. Animations are wrong, and ability effects in general aren't right but at least I got them to use the abilites and able to then learn them on BLU.

Well as mentioned most of the 76+ content is missing and not coded. Taking scripts from other mobs may not be exact for that mob to use, while it may work but won't be correct. Cause they could be different attack type
xi.attackType.MAGICAL
xi.attackType.PHYSICAL
xi.attackType.RANGED

So that is why captures is needed to have mob use everything correctly. While you may be trying to learn blu spells, now which down the road once it is coded correctly it could affect updating your server cause you may have fix the scripts you adjusted. If you going to be trying to temp fix what you want to do, look into modules, as it won't affect any scripts when they added and you can remove the module once they are in.

You can use like this

-----------------------------------
-- Notes: Allows mobs to use skills
-----------------------------------
require('modules/module_utils')
-----------------------------------

local m = Module:new('custommobskills')

-- Iterate through all the sections of a table-string, and instantiate them if they don't exist
local ensureTable = function(str)
    local parts = utils.splitStr(str, '.')
    local table = _G;
    for _, part in ipairs(parts) do
        table[part] = table[part] or {}
        table = table[part]
    end
end

ensureTable('xi.actions.mobskills.Mob_Skill_Name_Here')

m:addOverride('xi.actions.mobskills.Mob_Skill_Name_Here.onMobSkillCheck', function(target, mob, skill)

Put here what is needed

end)

m:addOverride('xi.actions.mobskills.Mob_Skill_Name_Here.onMobWeaponSkill', function(target, mob, skill)

Put here what is needed

end)

return m
