Monster Behavior

[Dakotah]

I am using TFS 0.4 Rev 3777 and I am having an issue that I am very uncertain about. For example, if I were surrounded by monsters and killed them all, the other monsters on screen will not come to melee me because the corpse of the dead monsters are blocking their path and they will not walk over them. I have searched the forums and found people with similar issues and even the same but didn't find a solution. Has anyone experience with this issue? And if so, how did you fix it?

Change the corpse id's that are blocking the path (?) use another kind of corpses for those monsters xd

Or change "flags" in every monster? I dont remember which one but there is one to allows walking through corpses.

Its happening with all monsters

I will check that out and see if that could help

Remove corpses from the game then problem solved... Its easy too you can do it in the sources with an if statement

I tested with rootworms trying different corpse IDs and nothing changed. Even tried it with a bag as the corpse and they still would not walk over it. One thing I did notice is that after about a minute passes they will finally walk over the corpse or whatever ID I have set as the corpse.

maybe post the script of the monster here.

This is happening with every monster. I'm convinced it may not be in the monster file but rather somewhere else.

Can monsters attack you from distance? like arrow or magic?

 

[Dakotah]

Yes they can
