Fineghal Apprentice Member # 466	written Monday, June 28 2004 04:35 Profile #0 Now this may have been mentioned before, but when I use any spell or item to haste myself, and then use the AutoCombat feature, the program still acts as though I had 4 AP. Yes my PC will move, but if I'm surrounded by enemies, the character will make one attack and 2 AP (usually) left over, enough for another attack that is never taken. Another AutoCombat failure, it ignores and APs "stored" via the wait button. Upon entering AutoCombat, my foes recieve a turn and then I recieve a turn, despite the fact that I have 12 AP's "stored."

City of Doors Apprentice Member # 4476	written Monday, June 28 2004 04:46 Profile #1 While we're on the subject, when I use autocombat in towns, at least one of my characters is teleported to like the other side of the town... This means that they either get killed because they're now surrounded or that I need to spend loads of time getting my party close enough together to leave combat mode...

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Monday, June 28 2004 14:15 Profile Homepage #4 Autocombat is tantamount to suicide. Avernum plays favorites, and it likes monsters far more than it likes your party. Even if autocombat doesn't get you killed, it'll waste all your items and spell points, scatter your party, and barely manage to kill your enemies. —Alorael, who thinks a spell should inflict autocombat as an impairment. It would have to be extremely high level. It's only a tiny bit less awful than being charmed, and only because charm makes you ineffectively try to kill yourself instead of others.

cfgauss Warrior Member # 4590	written Monday, June 28 2004 17:15 Profile #5 I've also noticed that when fighting in "town mode" instead of "combat mode," enemies occasionaly can suddenly jump way across the screen in one turn, and sometimes end up on top of other people in my party, or each other, or other places they shouldn't be! -------------------- I often quote myself.

Eldiran Shock Trooper Member # 4154	written Tuesday, June 29 2004 12:52 Profile #6 Yeah, sometimes the monsters move two spaces in some random direction rather than one. For example: Spider moves one space towards me. I move one space toward Spider. Spider suddenly flies two spaces past me and ends up behind me. Weird, eh? This is only in Town mode, though. -------------------- You're a moron if you think I'm not. Posts: 213 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00
