*OLD AI: Swarm pet would lock on to target until target died, then depop as soon as target died.
*NEW AI: Swarm pet will attack cast on target, NOT perma locked it can change targets if attacked
by something else that generate more hate. When target dies swarm pet will follow owner, if owner is
attacked by something else the swarm pet will attack it (until duration timer despawns the pet).
Updated perl quest function: MakeTempPet(Tspell_id, name=nullptr, duration=0, target=nullptr, sticktarg=0)
Implemented perl quest function: Mob::TypesTempPet(npctypesid, name=nullptr, duration=0, follow=0, target=nullptr, sticktarg=0)
Note: 'sticktarg' field will cause the swarm pet to use the OLD AI
Rule to use OLD AI only - default is disabled.

This gives us a much more straight forward way of setting mob
attack delay with respect to live.
The attack_delay column is in 10ths of seconds, just like weapons are
The attack_speed is left for references for now.
This was the easiest way to NPCs delay settings to be sane in the database.
The functions are cleaner since there is no specific logic to change
behavior depending on if they're a client or not.
Param 0: Sets max distance you need to be away from an npc for it to chase you.
Param 1: Sets min distance you need to be from npc for it to chase you.
Usage: Ideally used with ranged attack npcs / casters who you DO NOT WANT
to chase you unless you get too close or too far or out of sight.
Scales spell power based on targets distance from caster.
This implemented in a broad way to function with spells
that would make sense to scale. Some work will still be needed on this.
Be aware if making custom
spells not everything will work and certain effects just
should not be included (use common sense).
Implemented innate defensive and range procs
Implemented ability to fine tune AI casting behavior/timers
Global rules for AI casting behavior/timers
NPC Ranged attack updates, set skill and ammo type in npc_types
Various clean ups in attack related functions.
Other minor fixes.
See Change Log, +required, +optional SQL
SE_SkillProcSuccess (now implemented correctly)
to function more accurately and efficiently, AA supported.
This may need to be updated in the future, if more live
spells readily become avialable to test with.
Updated SE_SympatheticProc - Revised proc rate formula to be accurate to live.
Sympathetic foci on items with proc rate mod will now benefit from that modifier.
Sympathetic foci can now be placed on AA's (This should always be slot1 in the AA)
Implemented SE_IllusionPersistence- Allows illusions to last until you die or the illusion is forcibly removed.
Added rule 'PreNerftBardAEDot' for SE_BardAEDot to allow it to once again do damage to moving targets. (Set to true)
