Teleport Resistance

[Dracos]

I know it's supposedly a long/old bug but:

With the vor mages now regularly using phase door and teleport (or maybe they've always done that above normal), it's a real kick that immunity does nothing, and saves do jack.

You mean that teleport resistance isn't giving you whatever % resistance to those effects?

[GlassGo]

Its work only against Dark Portal, not Phase Door.

Pretty sure it is known that phase door and teleport both go right through teleport resistance 100%. At least folks were chattering as if it was long known in tomechat.

It is a bit funny that teleport other is not stopped by teleport resistance. I think it might make teleport resistance worthwhile building if it actually protected at least against all normal kinds of teleport other, including phase door.

It's a funny potential thing. Since playing a Temporal Warden, I wondered if teleport resistance works and if it is a two-sided sword. You'd expect it to be really bad to have if you regularly use teleports.

I doubt that would be popular, though.


But good to know that it's not currently working, if only for the game mechanics.

Looking at the code, the only thing teleport immunity does is removing any chance to save against enemy teleports.

It's a simple fix though, from Conveyance.lua the two instances of:

Code: Select all

if target ~= self and target:canBe("teleport") then
	local hit = self:checkHit(self:combatSpellpower(), target:combatSpellResist() + (target:attr("continuum_destabilization") or 0))
	if not hit then
		game.logSeen(target, "The spell fizzles!")
		return true
	end
end

should be:

Code: Select all

if target ~= self
	if not target:canBe("teleport") or not self:checkHit(self:combatSpellpower(), target:combatSpellResist() + (target:attr("continuum_destabilization") or 0)) then
		game.logSeen(target, "The spell fizzles!")
		return true
	end
end
