[1.0.1] Killed by my own thought-form (really!!!)

[jenx]

This is totally bizarre.

I have never tried controlling my thought-form before, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Result? It killed me. My character has lots of autocasts, and my suspicion is that somehow my character autocast onto itself rather than on a target somewhere.

Here is the log:

I hope this can be fixed.

[edge2054]

More correctly it sounds like you killed yourself while possessing a thought form. Can anyone verify if controlling a golem with a bunch of auto-casts enabled does the same thing?

[Hachem_Muche]

I just checked with an alchemist. I set channel staff and throw bomb to auto use when enemies are visible and when I switched control to the golem, my character just kept hitting himself with bombs and staff blasts.

LOL - suicide achievement

[jenx]

This bug still occurs in 1.0.3. And it just happened to me in Eidolon Plane of all places !!!!

But what is worse, in the Eidolon plane, it triggers the end of game dialog (e.g. Death! You have died!), even though you might have lives left.

My great dwarf had 4 lives left, but I can't go on.

So autouse needs to be disabled during movement-only effects and while the player is not the main actor

Well no, more sensible targetting would be preferable, Silyl AI targeting of bombs is fine, but staff blasts? that can only happen if the Actor is directly targeting itself, which should never be happening. You probably do want your alchemist to zap things with the staff whilst you trundle about with the golem.

I think I agree with Elkan. It would be great to take hold of a thought-form, enter a vault, but any stray npcs find themselves zapped by your real character. Who might also activate a shielding rune, regen etc when enemies are present, improving their survivability as well.

[BoomFrog]

Well you can already give yourself talent priorities when not directly controlled with "give order". Autocast should probably remain a separate system.
