Playerbots Lua integration
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~90 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR expands Lua access to Playerbot management and lifecycle operations, but the current head still contains a path that can invalidate Lua-held bot objects and trigger use-after-free, creating a high-impact runtime and security risk. The exposed operations also lack a clearly enforced authorization and ownership model, while two smaller binding issues leave the advertised API incomplete. The PR should not merge until the lifetime issue is fixed and the authority model is explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@src/LuaEngine/methods/Playerbots/PlayerBotAIMethods.h`:
- Around line 47-51: Mark all namespace-scope binding functions inline to
prevent multiple-definition linker errors: GetBot, IsPlayerbot, GetPlayerbotAI,
and IsRandomBot in PlayerBotAIMethods.h; the corresponding binding functions in
PlayerBotMethods.h, PlayerBotsMgrMethods.h, and RandomPlayerBotMgrMethods.h.
Apply the change at all four listed sites without altering their behavior.
- Around line 1334-1344: Normalize an explicit activity value of 0 to
ALL_ACTIVITY before calling AllowActivity in IsActivityAllowed, and apply the
same normalization in the AllowActive wrapper. Preserve the existing
MAX_ACTIVITY_TYPE fallback and ensure both wrappers pass only valid ActivityType
values to their activity checks.
In `@src/LuaEngine/methods/Playerbots/PlayerBotsMgrMethods.h`:
- Around line 38-63: The PlayerbotsMgr ownership paths used by AddPlayerbotData
and RemovePlayerbotData must release replaced or removed bot objects instead of
only erasing entries. Update the underlying manager methods to delete owned
objects safely and invalidate any Lua wrappers before removal, preserving the
documented distinction between isAI values; otherwise omit these bindings until
ownership and wrapper lifetime are correctly enforced.
In `@src/LuaEngine/methods/Playerbots/RandomPlayerBotMgrMethods.h`:
- Around line 674-696: Remove the PrintStats, LogBattlegroundInfo, and
LogPlayerLocation Lua binding definitions from RandomPlayerbotMgrMethods and
remove their corresponding registration entries in LuaFunctions.cpp, leaving
unrelated bindings unchanged.

AzerothCore mod playerbots PlayerbotAI AllowActivity AllowActive ActivityType source
💡 Result:
In the AzerothCore mod-playerbots module, AllowActivity and AllowActive are key methods used to control and check the activity state of player-bots [1]. These components rely on an enumeration called ActivityType to define specific behaviors [1]. ActivityType Enum The ActivityType enum defines various categories of bot behavior, which are used to determine if a bot should perform certain actions at a given time [1]. The defined types are [1]: - GRIND_ACTIVITY (1) - RPG_ACTIVITY (2) - TRAVEL_ACTIVITY (3) - OUT_OF_PARTY_ACTIVITY (4) - PACKET_ACTIVITY (5) - DETAILED_MOVE_ACTIVITY (6) - PARTY_ACTIVITY (7) - ALL_ACTIVITY (8) - MAX_ACTIVITY_TYPE (boundary marker) Key Methods - AllowActive(ActivityType activityType): This method returns a boolean value indicating whether the bot is currently permitted to perform a specific activity type [1]. It checks internal state arrays (allowActive) that are periodically updated [2][1]. - AllowActivity(ActivityType activityType, bool checkNow): This method manages the activity status [1]. Calling it updates the bot's permission to engage in the specified activity [2]. The checkNow parameter allows forcing an immediate check of the activity status [1]. Source Implementation These methods are defined in PlayerbotAI.h and implemented in PlayerbotAI.cpp [2][1]. The bot maintains an array (allowActive[MAX_ACTIVITY_TYPE]) and a corresponding timer array (allowActiveCheckTimer[MAX_ACTIVITY_TYPE]) to manage and throttle these permission checks [2][1]. The system is designed to regulate bot CPU usage and logic flow, ensuring bots do not constantly recalculate high-overhead behaviors [2]. In practice, these functions are called throughout the bot's update loop to gate movement, combat, and interaction logic [2]. You can see this system in action in modules like RandomPlayerbotMgr.cpp, where it is used to log whether a bot is currently active or in a delay state [3].

Normalize explicit activityType == 0 to ALL_ACTIVITY in both wrappers.
ActivityType starts at 1, but CHECKVAL preserves an explicit zero. AllowActivity then uses cache slot 0 instead of the ALL_ACTIVITY slot 8, which can return a different cached result. Apply the same normalization in AllowActive to preserve the enum contract.
