Bot flying but won't stop to kill things (Objective tag)

[thebrodieman]

In Outlands, specifically doing the quest Bonechewer Blood, the bot will take off and fly between hot spots. Never dismounting, and giving no (apparent) error to why it will not engage mobs on the ground.

<Quest Id="10450" Name="Bonechewer Blood">
  <Objective Type="CollectItem" ItemId="30327" CollectCount="12">
    <CollectFrom>
      <Mob Name="Bonechewer Evoker" Id="19701" />
      <Mob Name="Bonechewer Scavenger" Id="18952" />
      <Mob Name="Bonechewer Mutant" Id="16876" />
      <Mob Name="Bonechewer Raider" Id="16925" />
    </CollectFrom>
    <Hotspots>
      <Hot spots listed here />
    </Hotspots>
  </Objective>
</Quest>

<Objective Nav="Fly" QuestName="Bonechewer Blood" QuestId="10450" Type="CollectItem" ItemId="30327" CollectCount="12" />

If I force the bot to land near mobs it needs to kill, it runs fine, but if there is nothing near it, it will take off to find new targets, but never land thereafter.

Issue starts in attached log at [05:26:15.332 D]

EDIT: Confirmed this occurs with all Objective tags involving being on a flying mount. It will not engage any targets unless you manually land it and it is engaged in combat.

Addition: Only seems to occur within Hellfire Peninsula, but confirmed with every quest that utilizes Objective Nav=Fly.
Testing in Zangarmarsh, bot successfully dismounts.

EDIT: Started behaving similarly in Zangarmarsh...must have just been lucky a few times.

Update:

Apparently the issue is that questing keeps having "Ground Mount Farming Mode" activated after a "reset to default settings" call from QBs like IW occurs. Once activated, whenever we are on a flying mount (flying or not) the bot does not attack anything.

Thanks for all the wonderful details, TheBrodieMan.

We've opened HB-1211 ("<Objective> element does not engage mobs when Nav="Fly"") against this issue.

Just to be clear about an unrelated point...
Are you saying a simple execution of InteractWith causes "Ground Mount Farming Mode" to be turned on, as a side-effect? This always happens?

And one last thing, please...
You know this isn't a problem with your Honorbuddy installation, so doesn't belong in the Support forum. Next time, please send confirmed bugs to the [Bug Reports] Honorbuddy Bug Reports thread. Thanks!

cheers,
