1f3d11d1c4 Stage2 refactor switch custom calculations by core helpers clean (#2127)
# Pull Request

This change replaces a few manual distance calculations in
`WorldPosition` with AzerothCore distance helpers. The goal is to reduce
duplicated math, keep behavior consistent with core utilities, and avoid
reimplementing logic that already exists in the core.

---

## Design Philosophy

We prioritize **stability, performance, and predictability** over
behavioral realism.
Complex player-mimicking logic is intentionally limited due to its
negative impact on scalability, maintainability, and
long-term robustness.

Excessive processing overhead can lead to server hiccups, increased CPU
usage, and degraded performance for all
participants. Because every action and
decision tree is executed **per bot and per trigger**, even small
increases in logic complexity can scale poorly and
negatively affect both players and
world (random) bots. Bots are not expected to behave perfectly, and
perfect simulation of human decision-making is not a
project goal. Increased behavioral
realism often introduces disproportionate cost, reduced predictability,
and significantly higher maintenance overhead.

Every additional branch of logic increases long-term responsibility. All
decision paths must be tested, validated, and
maintained continuously as the system evolves.
If advanced or AI-intensive behavior is introduced, the **default
configuration must remain the lightweight decision
model**. More complex behavior should only be
available as an **explicit opt-in option**, clearly documented as having
a measurable performance cost.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Describe the **minimum logic** required to achieve the intended
behavior?
Use existing core distance helpers instead of manual math, keeping the
logic localized to `WorldPosition`.
- Describe the **cheapest implementation** that produces an acceptable
result?
Directly call `GetExactDist`, `GetExactDist2d`, and `GetExactDist2dSq`
where appropriate.
- Describe the **runtime cost** when this logic executes across many
bots?
No additional cost; the helper calls replace equivalent math and avoid
extra intermediate objects.

---

## How to Test the Changes

- Step-by-step instructions to test the change
- Build the module and run existing bot scenarios that rely on
`WorldPosition` distance checks.
  - Verify no behavioral regressions in travel-related logic.
- Any required setup (e.g. multiple players, bots, specific
configuration)
  - Standard server + mod-playerbots setup.
- Expected behavior and how to verify it
- Distances computed in travel logic remain identical; no gameplay
change expected.

## Complexity & Impact

Does this change add new decision branches?
- - [x] No
- - [ ] Yes (**explain below**)

Does this change increase per-bot or per-tick processing?
- - [x] No

## Notes for Reviewers

This is a localized refactor that replaces manual distance math with
core helpers for consistency and maintainability.
No behavioral change is expected.

2f7dfdbbfc Fix rest of trainers' related stuff + codestyle changes and corrections (#2104)
# Pull Request

* Fix the rest of the trainer-related functionality: list spells and
learn (cast vs. direct learn) spells.
* Rewrite `TrainerAction`: split the logic between appropriate methods
(`GetTarget`, `isUseful`, `isPossible`) instead of pushing everything
inside a single `Execute` method.
* Change method definitions to remove unnecessary declarations and
parameters overhead.
* Move the `Trainer` header into the implementation. Rewrite
`RpgTrainTrigger` to fit the original logic and move all validation to
`RpgTrainAction` (`isUseful` + `isPossible`).
* Implement "can train" context value calculation to use with
`RpgTrainTrigger`.
* Update and optimize "train cost" context value calculation -- it
should be much faster.
* Replace `AiPlayerbot.AutoTrainSpells` with
`AiPlayerbot.AllowLearnTrainerSpells` and remove the "free" value
behavior — please use `AiPlayerbot.BotCheats` if you want bots to learn
trainer's spells for "free".
* Add `nullptr` checks wherever necessary (only inside targeted
methods/functions).
* Make some codestyle changes and corrections based on the AC codestyle
guide.

## How to Test the Changes

Force bots to learn spells from trainers using the chat command `trainer
learn` or `trainer learn <spellId>`. Bots should properly list available
spells (`trainer` command) or learn them (based on configuration and
command).

441f9f7552 Warnings PR 1: Event warnings and headers (#2106)
# Pull Request

This is the first in a series of PRs intended to eliminate warnings in
the module. The design intent is to eliminate the calling event when not
needed in the body of the function. Based off of SmashingQuasars work.

17b8d7f68b Stage1 refactor world position method names (#2126)
# Pull Request

This change replaces the non‑standard
WorldPosition::getX/getY/getZ/getO/getMapId wrappers with the core
getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetOrientation, GetMapId) and removes the
redundant wrappers.
Goal: align the module with AzerothCore conventions, reduce local
adapters, and improve long‑term maintainability.

---

## Design Philosophy

This is a structural cleanup only (coordinate access) and does not alter
any AI behavior or decision logic.
It follows the stability/performance-first philosophy and does not add
branches or extra runtime work.

Before submitting: yes, this change aligns with the principles of
stability, performance, and predictability.

Principles:

- **Stability before intelligence**  
  A stable system is always preferred over a smarter one.

- **Performance is a shared resource**  
  Any increase in bot cost affects all players and all bots.

- **Simple logic scales better than smart logic**  
Predictable behavior under load is more valuable than perfect decisions.

- **Complexity must justify itself**  
  If a feature cannot clearly explain its cost, it should not exist.

- **Defaults must be cheap**  
  Expensive behavior must always be optional and clearly communicated.

- **Bots should look reasonable, not perfect**  
  The goal is believable behavior, not human simulation.

Before submitting, confirm that this change aligns with those
principles.

---

## Feature Evaluation

Please answer the following:

- Minimum logic required: use core getters (GetPositionX/Y/Z, GetMapId,
GetOrientation) wherever coordinates are needed.
- Cheapest implementation: direct call replacement and removal of
redundant wrappers.
- Runtime cost: negligible (same data access, no additional logic).

---

## How to Test the Changes

- No functional testing required (behavior‑neutral refactor).
- Recommended: compile the module and run a normal server startup as
validation.
