    Default Lightning and Drain - Bugged?

    I was trying out the new 0.39, and it works well, and my only complaint is that spells like Lightning and drain for creatures (e.g. Dark Mistress), the spells, instead of hitting the creatures, bypass the creatures and just reach out as far as it can, thus dealing no damage.

    Not a gamebreaker, but some levels become harder/impossible without it dealing damage.

    Yeah, I've mentioned it in my own thread. It's annoying, but not game breaking...or crashing. <_<

    Although, since I use Mistresses as my main army later in the game...ek.

    Do they always miss the target, or only sometimes?

    Unless I possess the creature and aim myself, they'll always miss. Even aiming myself, it's somewhat unlikely I'll hit what I'm targeting.

    However, when targeting doors, they'll hit the doors normally.

    Yep, I have exactly the same problem in that the lightning and drain are bugged and NEVER hit. Another issue is that flame breath from dragons (might be the same for hellhounds, havent checked) also doesn't do any damage. I've tried in multiple levels and neither of these things inflict damage to enemies.

    Kind of annoying..

    Thumbs up Re: Lightning and Drain - Bugged?

    I compiled source code to try the SVN.
    You’re doing a great job.

    I also noticed the problem with range attack spells not hitting the enemy.

    Also I think something else might be wrong with the imps.

    They seem to act a tiny bit differently when you have two jobs at once, like when gold is selected to dig out and imps are all digging at the gold, then try and drop one of your imps on top of your claimed tile to possess some more tiles.

    Resulting in the imp only claiming one tile then going back to the gold, but usually the imp would continue to possess more tiles.


    Keep up the good work :-)

    Noticed the Drain/Lightning bug too, Mistresses kept missing when trying to kill an enemy dungeon heart. I didn't notice it at first so they were at it for 5 minutes or so and never hit the heart.

    The Imps have a short attention span indeed, might also need some looking into, but that's a bit offtopic for this topic. :P

    Also here to confirm that Imps act strangely just as previously mentioned. If there's a job to do such as mining gold whilst there are also tiles to take over, if you drop an imp on a tile to take it over it will then take over that tile but bugger off and attempt to either fortify/dig rather than carry on with what i told it to do.
