[Not a bug] DISPELL is not hit

Post by Tonari »

DISPELL doesn't hit ZYTAZ and MATERIALIZER.
DISPELL explodes when they are on the wall side and it damages it.
However, they pass and DISPELL comes off if it is not so.
Please forgive poor English.

What state were they in? These creatures, unless in attack mode and solid, are actually immune to the spell and it does indeed pass straight through them. Makes vorpal blades very useful and them nastier

Well, dispell is supposed to damage Materializers and Zystazes only when they are phased in, but I think I remember it should at least discharge upon hitting them, even though not doing any damage. Can anyone confirm this?

BTW: Tonari: The only reliable way to kill them ist by using the Vorpal Blades, for it can also hit them while they are phased out.

Hmm, I'm now trying to recall if I saw the passing through in DM, I'll check it when I get back home if no one else has

But this behaviour has definitely been in the RTC engine all the time

I'm sorry I understood. This is a specification.
:oops: When they attack it, DISPELL is hit.

No problem, I don't know if it's something everyone realises - we all like vorpal blades : )
