(probably fixed) Party can frag monsters while kiting

Post by Gambit37 »

I was kiting a purple worm (doing the two-step cheese) and I stepped onto the tile that the worm entered at the same time: instant frag and lots of nice worm rounds.

Is this intentional behaviour in DSB, or a bug?

Hi Gambit... Sorry to burst in with something totally unrelated to the question, but it's good to see you playing around with DM again.

There is no actual "at the same time" in DSB: party movement and monster movement are handled in completely separate code, and each set of code has collision detection to ensure that this doesn't happen. If the party walked into a monster's square and telefragged them that means that the collision detection code didn't work right for whatever reason.

I couldn't reproduce this, so I can't say much beyond that.

Yep, fair point, I guess this is hard to reproduce. Definitely can happen though :)
