While (re)playing Avernum 3, I've noticed that occationally, when I have a monster cornered and am ready to deliver the final blow...poof. It vanishes into thin air and re-appears elsewhere...the last one poofed out to a room I'd just come through...anyone else had this strange effect? -------------------- Aa' menle nauva calen ar' ta hwesta e' ale'quenle, melloneamin. --------------------- Finder of impossible beta testing errors.

I'm pretty sure I remember something like this being discussed before, but I can't say I've had the problem. And the boards' search function is being particularly idiotic at the moment. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

I know I've never had that happen, except in fights where someone was supposed to disappear after getting a lot of damage. -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts. And I know I'm not crazy because the little man who lives on my shoulder told me so. If people don't think there's something wrong with you, there's something wrong with you.

I've had a few problems with monsters teleporting in BoA's VoDT (mostly just jumping towards me 10 spaces or so during their turn in outdoor combat), but not anywhere else. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

They do it in DwtD as well, in the Vampire-guys castle, Diki, but I've never encountered it in the Avernum series. -------------------- And when you want to Live How do you start? Where do you go? Who do you need to know? Posts: 2864 | Registered: Monday, September 8 2003 07:00 |

I've experienced it before, and as far as I can recall, the only time it ever happens to me is when I'm trying to corner something, as you've noted. I'm guessing there's a bug that occurs when creatures with low courage have nowhere to escape (see the BoA calls get_courage and set_courage). It shouldn't be to hard to test this hypothesis in BoA. -------------------- Hey!
