Chaos doesn't teleport

[George Gilbert]

Didn't have time to implement the code for this release. For those of you who might be worried for his safety let me assure you that he's a nimble enough chap anyway - it's quite a challenge cornering him without it!

[George Gilbert]

Fixed and will be in V0.22

I'm just approaching the demons lair in RTC-DM at PalMaster difficulty, that won't be easy. Playing with Chaos being able to teleport at MonMaster-diff. will surely be quite hard (and a hell lot of fun!).

One more thing: Will he teleport only when fused without being properly fluxcaged or will he teleport randomly, will he appear beside the party or just anywhere, only at a certain frequency etc. and will he be able to teleport into the small room containing the Hellion?

Currently he only teleports when fused (and not caged in). Now all the code is in place I can easily make him teleport randomly too. Any requests?

[Lunever]

Well, it would make him more dangerous, but I'm not sure how dangerous I want him to be. Teleporting is no prob at low difficulty, but at high difficulty it could get too hard to kill all the demons when He is suddenly appearing beside the party regularly.

To have the demons lair playable, I'd say he should:

1) Teleport away from the party at a random but distant destination when fused without being fully caged.

2) Teleport to a random tile next to the party when not having been able to attack party for one or two minutes while the party is in the demons lair.

3) He should not be able to teleport into the room of the Hellion (if he is allowed to do that anyway, the time of 2) should be increased to at least 5 minutes)

Please keep in mind that although Chaos could teleport itself, he couldn't teleport behind the "monster blockers" (teleports working only on monster disallowing monsters to enter the tile).

[Gambit37]

That's why there's two sets of "monster blockers" at the ends of the two passageways that lead to this level...

I think that's important to rememeber, asking for a random far teleport will then mean work is needed to make any dungeon you use chaos on playable

Can this code be attributed to another monster as an 'attack', or is it hard coded for chaos?
