GAME: Monster cease attacking when hit by fireball

Post by Pedro »

Creating a new quest I discovered that when skeleton is hit by fireball he stops attacking and don't resume afterwards.

To illustrate the problem I created a test example with skeleton and shooter. Unfortunately, I couldn't drop it on my WWW because of some FTP problems, so I published the file in eMule (popular P2P client) under the name:
RTC_skeleton_bug.txt

Fixed for V0.35.

Great dungeon example by the way - it helped me spot the problem instantly.

For your general interest, the bug isn't specific to fireballs or skeletons. It affected all monsters which received a massive amount of damage (relative to their health) in a single hit. They now do what I originally intended (run away!).
