Azerothcore-wotlk: [Ulduar] Algalon incorrect scripting (Big Bang Mechanics/P2 Add Spawns) [$25]

[Voxstrasza]

##### CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Algalon does not cast Ascend to the Heavens when there is no one else in the room. However, he does cast Ascend to the Heavens if Big Bang doesn't hit any targets. Additionally, the Unleashed Dark Matter sit in their spawns and don't move to attack those in the room. Video 1, entering the Black Hole as the tank, and coming back to an Algalon that didn't realize I was gone: https://youtu.be/-JD03PnsxEU / Video 2, Unleashed Dark Matter sitting in their spawn: https://youtu.be/jFq1xu9osi0

##### EXPECTED BLIZZLIKE BEHAVIOR:
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find video proof of this, however Algalon is supposed to cast Ascend to the Heavens when there are no targets present in his main realm, in addition to when no one is hit by Big Bang. A snippet from Wowpedia:

If everyone enters the Black Holes and Algalon has no player in the normal realm to target, he kills the raid with Ascend to the Heavens.

Lastly, the Unleashed Dark Matter spawned during Phase 2 Algalon simply sit there unless you move close. They should be moving to anyone present in the room at random: https://youtu.be/uv_b1-bsN5o?t=387

##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:

1. Pull Algalon, wait until he spawns Collapsing Stars. Kill one, and step into black hole.
2. Side step a little and wait to return to the main realm. Algalon will be there waiting, instead of murdering you.
3. Phase Algalon to 20% HP, and move to a corner of the room or the dead middle. Unleashed Dark Matter will not move.

##### EXTRA NOTES:

##### AC HASH/COMMIT:

##### OPERATING SYSTEM:

##### MODULES:

##### OTHER CUSTOMIZATIONS:

I linked proof that there are too many Mechanolift's present on AC and you're being a dickhead? Weird flex, but okay.

Flame Leviathan: There shouldn't be that many Mechanolift's. You can see there are actually a very small amount from this retail video: https://youtu.be/JvraP9VCkyk

also last time when i play on Sunwell/AC in ulduar half of this Mechanolift 304 not activ and just hang visually and do nothing.

i told the first point here : https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/654 but they didn't believe me and marked it as unconfirmed.
With this video we can see a little bit the sky : https://youtu.be/YxUdzVB9vfM?t=379

[FrancescoBorzi]

@Maurowin it's not about believing, we put the labels "Confirmed" or "Unconfirmed" whenever we see another user confirming or not confirming the issue. It's not telling much. The label was because of a comment like:

I'm not sure what the issue is here

On top of that, you usually fill cool bug reports so I don't see why someone should not believe you ;)

[Voxstrasza]

@Si1ker I'd argue that issue #3 is High Priority, at least. Ascend to the Heavens is an integral mechanic to the fight, and allowing players to leave Algalon in his room alone without it being cast does trivialize things.

[Si1ker]

@Voxstrasza There's no medium priority, and this won't be a high priority because is not security-related or crash/exploitable. Also, it has a bounty on it, that will speed up the things here fo for it.
Thanks for your comprehension.

@Voxstrasza why closing this?

@Voxstrasza why closing this?

I reopened each separately as it was pointed out to me that separating the issues is more likely to receive support from my previous issue posts: https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/3580, https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/3581, https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/issues/3582

[FrancescoBorzi]

@Voxstrasza what about the bounty? maybe we can use this one for one of the three issues. So you can reopen this and edit it so it will contain only one issue.

Ok, done!

[FALL1N1]

What exactly should be done here? The Ascend spell or the Matter?

i think both should be done as they can both lead to exploited/cheated kills of algalon but personally i think the ascend is a bigger issue

[Voxstrasza]

added $15 for a total of $25 :)
