Spell should still cast, but you won't be able to see it.
Hitboxes? :\
Nice try.
1) No. It'll work against anything you attack. and 2) What monster is using demon blood?
That might be hard to fix given the way the magic hand registration works... I might be able to refund mana, I'll have to see how it works out the abort. (edit: Yeah, best I can do, and then only in certain situations.)
?
Will examine... (edit: Got this one - caused by a sound his chest uses, that is not precached, fixed.)
Please don't get me wrong; I wasn't trying to get you re-enable HC-stacking. Nor am I trying to get you to disable Shadahar spamming death circles. It'd just be nice if, for example, elementals wouldn't be able to cast their circles in ours, like we can't cast ours into theirs.Thothie said:
...but only if they attack you too - try it in-game and see for yourself.Thothie said:
What I mean is:
You're saying you can't cast a healing circle inside of a death circle or, say, a fire elemental's flame circle?
Demon blood for players and demon blood for monsters uses the exact same code:
{ game_damaged_other //PARAM1=target_hit PARAM2=dmg
if DEMON_BLOOD
local DEMON_BLOOD_DAMAGE $get(ent_me,skill.spellcasting)
multiply DEMON_BLOOD_DAMAGE 10
applyeffect ent_laststruckbyme effects/generic_damage DEMON_BLOOD_DAMAGE $get(ent_me,id) 1 magic PL_ACTIVE_SKILL

}

Where I'm trying to go is: it is my opinion that no two magic circles, regardless of what type, should be able to go inside each other at all. On one hand, this makes the game harder (because my hoarfrost shard's lesser ice circles can go everywhere right now) but on the other hand, it makes the game easier (because death circles wouldn't be allowed to go inside healing circles, for example).Thothie said:
I know squat about coding, but I'll try to make you a YouTube video showing what I mean, tomorrow.Thothie said:
Yeah, sorry, I meant scrolls, should have mentioned that. Nevermind thenThothie said:
Be difficult to pull off that. I'd have to edit every monster that could cast a circle, and eat CPU cycles doing scans for other circles where it intends to land its own. In many cases, they've already done another sort of scan to place their circles, and it'd be impossible to do another one within the same cycle, so it'd mean restructuring the whole process. Monsters, unlike players, do not have weapon scripts to centralize their spells.J-M said:
No, I know what you mean. I've always known something was screwy with the demon blood, but couldn't put my finger on it before. However, the code there, even if you look at it from a layman's point of view - defies the logic of the result.J-M said:
Sorry, pissy mood. ...Between the alien and folks dancing around nerf log subjects... Even a shadow or vague reminder of "a monster can do that why can't I!?" whiner theme makes my teeth grind. I realize, not your intention. >_>Keldorn said:
It thinks it's stuck, or otherwise needs to teleport to its master. It also maybe the anti-stuck system thinking it's spawned too close to an ally (ie. you).
Hrmm... Not seen that one.
This will most likely happen when you summon it on an entity brush or in the air. It thinks it is falling, and thus is repeatedly teleporting to your feet in an orbital pattern, trying to find ground. Side effect of the system that (usually) stops your pet from falling into pits and the like. If it's stuck slightly above the ground, try jumping or ducking.
Ranges between monsters are measured from center point to center point, so with very wide monsters, the wolf's default attack range may not be long enough to reach the monster's center point. This is also why the Fire Aura armor has trouble setting large monsters on fire. Not sure what to do about this without some fundamental change to the code, engine, or new function that measures from collide box edges, instead of centers. (One less CPU intesnsive than traceline.)
