Survival: turn on what hits you, resurrect out of harm's way

The companions' first levels showed two weaknesses: Grazhak died hammering a scorpid busy with his imp while another monster hit him, and ghosts waited long minutes near their bodies. The brain now switches target when hit, and picks a safe spot to resurrect.

Priority target

Before: the current target was kept as long as it was valid. Level 2 warlock: his target was fighting the imp 15-20 m away while a second monster killed him in melee.

Now: if a monster hits me and my target is not dealing with me, I turn on the nearest of those hitting me (debug trace “change de cible”).

Resurrection out of harm's way

In WotLK, a ghost resurrects where it stands, up to ~39 m from its body. Instead of waiting for monsters to wander off:

  1. list threats around the body (hostile, level ≥ own − 3);
  2. 24 candidate points on 22 and 30 m rings, ground height recomputed;
  3. pick the point farthest from any threat (at least 18 m), move there, then CMSG_RECLAIM_CORPSE;
  4. with no safe spot, wait (3 min at most) then resurrect anyway.
