Area spells targetting of mobs

#1 Post by hops »

In latest svn version, mobs somethings target their area spells strangely, for example, wrenchling place vapor where player is not hit, and wyrms breath at its allies. I am not sure of what is wrong. ( Playing as tempest, I guess maybe the hurricane induced some hostility or targetting confusion among the mobs ? )

There's a bug when monsters choose their target since beta 16. Sometimes it's "none", sometimes it's another monster (random). I've seen 10 monsters in a room once, moving back, waiting a few turns, entering the room again and only one monster remained (killed all the others).

In latest svn, when actors are hit they can get angry at the actor doing it, regardless of faction, it's not a bug

In this way the wyrms are almost guaranteed to be murdered by its hatchlings ... not a good thing.
( By the way, will hurricane on one monster induce hostility of the ones hurt? )

Maybe some special case that certain actor never turn upon some certain actors? For example, summoned drakes and its summoner, orcs and the pride boss, sandworm tunneller and all .

EDIT: In the Gorbat Pride, drakes are fighting themselves with absolutely no interference from the player at another side of the level. No idea what has led to the fight.

I have a suggestion that lower rank monsters do not turn upon higher rank ones of the same faction, or that monsters do not turn upon elite or higher rank monster of the same faction.

I changed it to make stuff of the same faction not hostile to their own, unless it's the player doing it
