Writhing One tentacle hand no longer functions

So i was doing halfling complex and realized my tentacle hand was no longer activating on melee hits. Im using a 1h staff, tried switching weapons, still doesnt work. You can see on my character's recent log im making melee hits and not getting tentacle activations: https://te4.org/characters/317863/tome/ ... 50d6b05498

There was an error popup shortly before i noticed this so maybe that's the cause? https://pastebin.com/GcCW8Gh4
if there's anything else that could be causing this let me know, because this is definitely a run killer.

Yeah, I think the error is the cause.
Basically, whenever a tentacle attack triggers, the game sets a flag so the tentacle attack itself (and any attack that may trigger off of it via stuff like Flexible Combat) does not trigger a new tentacle attack (to prevent attack recursion.)
Said flag is then unset when the attack completes.

You got an error during a tentacle attack, leading to the flag never getting removed.

You can remove it manually via savefile editing, the flag is called "tentacle_hand_prevent". Although I'd leave explaining how to do that to someone more skilled since I've never done it myself.
