Teleporting Escorts

[yufra]

I noticed escorts occasionally "teleporting" around and added two print statements to the AI code to make sure I wasn't imagining things:

Code: Select all

newAI("escort_quest", function(self)
	print("[ESCORT] starting location, ", self.x, " :: ", self.y)
	if self:runAI("target_simple") then
		-- One in "talent_in" chance of using a talent
		if rng.chance(self.ai_state.talent_in or 6) and self:reactionToward(self.ai_target.actor) < 0 then
			self:runAI("dumb_talented")
		end
		if not self.energy.used then
			if self:reactionToward(self.ai_target.actor) < 0 and not self:hasLOS(self.escort_target.x, self.escort_target.y, "block_move") then
				self:runAI("move_dmap")
			else
				self:runAI("move_escort")
			end
		end
		print("escort final location, ", self.x, " :: ", self.y)
		return true
	end
	print("[ESCORT] final location, ", self.x, " :: ", self.y)
end)

Then Isema the lost sun paladin obliged me with this log:

That second to last movement Isema jumps 6 spaces vertically right after the last enemy in sight disappeared. This is where the escort_quest AI switches over "move_dmap" to "move_escort". I haven't confirmed this, but I suspect that the 3, 4 spot was the next in the stored A* path which was deviated from with move_dmap when enemies were seen. The stored "escort_path" should probably be niled whenever there is a call to "move_dmap". Thoughts?

I noticed that whenever you move the escorted yourself, they still move from the spot they last moved to themselves. So if you pass the NPC they'll still move from the spot you're standing on, causing them to go through you. You have to take another step ahead to keep them from bypassing you.

Phase door also doesn't work at all since they'll teleport back to where they were in 1 move.

Oh, THAT explains it!

Escorts still teleport. I teleported a fellow out of a snake pit and far away and then a little while later he was in the pit again. If he had been teleported further into the pit and out of sight he wouldn't have lasted that long, so he must have been successfully teleported further back only to pop himself back into the danger again. Serves him darn right.
