Excalibur Agent Member # 8030	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 18:56 Profile Homepage #0 I've encountered that the NPC in the images ignores the blocked monster squares. In this situation its no big deal, but in other towns have the creature obey the blocked territory is integral. Please tell me how to solve this problem. Thanks! Eh, I don't know why the images are so huge...sorry about that. I have to transfer the file from Windows to Mac, so the image appears somewhat blurry.

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 19:50 Profile Homepage #1 That shouldn't be happening, period. How were the blocked spaces placed? Were they placed automatically by a floor type, or were they placed manually? -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Excalibur Agent Member # 8030	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 19:55 Profile Homepage #3 I placed them manually. The Mac version of the editor I use is 1.1 (On OS 9.2.2) EDIT: No Celtic Minstrel, the two doors are his only route out...which should be blocked.

Amyth Shaper Member # 7472	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 19:59 Profile Homepage #4 Try using the default 2D editor. See if that changes anything. I'd almost say that your version of BoA might be corrupt, but you likely would have noticed that problem before now. -------------------- Hz'ii'zt a'iiencf coxnen a'bn'z'p pahuen yzpa'zuhb be'tt'phukh'kn az'ii'ova mxn't bhcizvi'fl?

Excalibur Agent Member # 8030	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 20:05 Profile Homepage #5 The top picture is the editor, which I'd assume is 2D. In other words, I already am using the default 2D editor. The second image is me actually playing the scenario. Thanks anyways. -------------------- I dub thee...

Lazarus. Lifecrafter Member # 6193	written Wednesday, January 2 2008 20:52 Profile Homepage #6 Try using change_blocked() in the town's scripts. I know that the party can be placed on editor-blocked spots when they end combat, and it's possible that NPCs can sneak past them. However, spots blocked through scripts are truly impassable to NPCs, I believe. -------------------- "NOW PASS ME MY BOOTS.

Ishad Nha Shock Trooper Member # 7662	written Thursday, January 3 2008 01:50 Profile #8 It is not due to having two doors open at once is it? I once noticed such an error in a scenario but I can't figure how I fixed it. The conclusion I came to, rightly or wrongly, was that having two doors open at once lead to PCs being able to ignore the blocked property.

Excalibur Agent Member # 8030	written Thursday, January 3 2008 12:41 Profile Homepage #10 I edited the town script, and it seems to be working. For some reason, every temple I design has to have at least two doors. Maybe I need to be more open minded. -------------------- I dub thee... Posts: 1384 | Registered: Tuesday, February 6 2007 08:00
