Possessor interactions - Paradox
Posted: Wed Jul 12, 2017 8:00 am
Alright, due to reports of issues with resting in possessed forms (http://forums.te4.org/viewtopic.php?f=5 ... 1&start=60) with the auto-rest addon, I'm experimenting with resting...
But I admit, I'm not too clear on what actually is and isn't supposed to work with Posessor's so raising what seems weird here:
If you possess something with paradox and spacetime tuning, you don't actually get spacetime tuning, so paradox steadily degrades to 0. But you still have it as a 'talent', so when you rest, it checks and sees the spacetime tuning effect triggered, inside actor:_M:waitTurn(). This seems to cause it to fire a maximum wait duration spacetimeTuning effect to go from 0 to preferred (300 by default). It is tuning toward zero (shedding paradox as a non-paradox mage would) so in reality it doesn't actually change the paradox any, and at the end of the wait, it triggers another right afterwards.
What seems like a bug:
Spacetime tuning doesn't seem to be able to be modified for possessed creatures with Paradox skills.
Spacetime tuning comes across as an effect, but doesn't modify paradox.
What I'm not sure of:
Are you supposed to be able to recover paradox in a possessed form? It's easy enough to check possession and prevent it, but not sure if that'd just be responding to buggy behavior by breaking the interaction totally.
Anyone able to give insight on what's supposed to be going on here?
