That is probably because move_block is not set on the walls. The attack doesn't see anything that stops it, so it keeps going (I'm presuming we're talking arrows and spells here). > > IMHO earthwalls should keep a distance between you and the monsters. > The change in the earthwalls made the monsters attack you through the > earthwall, as if they could see you. > But, if they can see you, you should also be able to see them > (at least that would be consistent and logic). > This should be fixed IMHO.

You can have a wall that blocks you from seeing through it, but does not block movement. Likewise, you can have a wall that you can see through, but can't move through (the walls separating the entry area from the shop area of the scorn shops is an example of that). I think the real fix here is to make it so that the earthwalls block movement. that sort of fixes the problem - the monsters still know where you are, but can't get to you through the earthwall. _______________________________________________ crossfire mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.metalforge.org/mailman/listinfo/crossfire
