Title: Draconian cleric
Post by: omledufromage on December 15, 2007, 08:28:43 pm
Draconian cleric (from draconian encampment) summons you instead of track, right...
what I found, and cost me my life, is that he summons you even when you are camouflaged!!  :o
Bug here, or he simply is truly blessed?

- odd..I think he can summon you if you also are within the cursed area...but not if you leave it.  Ill have to check that...I think you can gate to spot also within the area..but not out.  But only way he should be able to summon I think if he has a target...he may have ability to see hidden and camouflaged then. 
   Has anyone ever summoned someone out of hide? or camo..in PvP? or been .

actually I also tried it being cursed myself afterwards... also keeps summoning...
And he simply shouldnt summon through camouflage. And no, he does not see camouflaged. I entered the room he is in camouflaged, and he doesnt attack.

Heh i found this out too! Ages ago now though, with my cleric of sargas fortunately i was able to consecrate the room outside his and survive to flee/word!

I like it though, I think it adds character to the zone. It reminds me of Arctic, mobs and players there can summon you no matter where you are, it is not restricted to the zone the summoner is in. You also don't have to have fought the summoner in some zones. Once you have entered the zone and attacked a creature the rest start hunting you down, and these particular zones summoning mobs start trying to summon you. Lots of fun for the whole family!

- Ok this draconian is better then us and he is to be slain, but we all agree...players cant summon/gate what they cant see right?

Hmm. Maybe you just had major saves?

deda, I'm about to reveal truth ...
... he does summon even astralled ones :)
In fact, his summon spell does not ever check if player is visible to him, because that spell is hardcoded action
i.e.

check_save?
transfer_player_to_cleric
do_murder_player
do_player_yell_('Help! I'm being attacked by vicious IRC marauder!')

I'm not a coder though, this is the most likely case I think :)

Methinks Quino is all over that nail.
