Hi,
Well, if yu think about it everything has an absolute minimum range in
real life. For the games purposes the game measures everything in feet
as a rule. So if an enemy is in say, 0 feet, that is way too close to
use a pistol, magnum, shotgun, etc so it won't allow you to hit the
creature when shooting. When you check distances using the view command
it converts feet into meters since the metric system is what 75% of my
customers use and was a request way back when.

Sorry, but that just seems kind of weird to me. The only weapon I can
see having a realistic minimum range is the bow, and only because you
have to draw it to fire. The other weapons, especially the pistols, are
all small enough to be used at close range, and in fact shotguns are
meant to be used at close range to keep the buckshot or whatever you
loaded the gun with from spreading too far so it does maximum damage.
Maximum range sure, but minimum range where guns are concerned is just
strange. But ah well, now that I know that's not necessarily a bug I can
get used to it.

Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Bug in MOTA.
Hi Phil,
You just braught up a very good point. A lot of people still are not
aware that all weapons have a minimum and maximum range. If someone is
trying to kill a monster up too close then obviously the weapon won't
work. Diddo if the monster is out of range. MOTA is not a simple game
by any means.
Anyway, I'm wondering if Ryan's problem with the random monster in
room 12 is simply not being prepared for the attack? If it happens to
be near the staircase then the gamer in question has to act pretty
quick to get out of the way and not too close to the monster to get in
some stabs, shots, whatever. It is certainly tricky at times.

Hi Thomas,
I had this happen with a Harpy in room 12 and it sounds like the
enemy was 0 distance away.
This would disable some if not all of your weapons.
I was attacked when reaching the top of the staircase and got out of
it by quickly moving to the left, turning around and firing a gun at
the creature.
Luckily I had 100 health at the time and had a healing potion to
restore a major hit on me.
