breaking charm

[phordicus]

some/all of the shout/help scripts are "dispelling" charmed bad guys. this block from dw#bandf is typical.

IF
!GlobalGT("helptarget","LOCALS",0)
Heard([ANYONE],751)
OR(3)
	!Class(Myself,MAGE_ALL)
	Global("instantprep","LOCALS",1)
	!See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
OR(3)
	!Class(Myself,CLERIC_ALL)
	Global("instantprep","LOCALS",1)
	!See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
OR(3)
	!Class(Myself,DRUID_ALL)
	Global("instantprep","LOCALS",1)
	!See(NearestEnemyOf(Myself))
THEN
RESPONSE #100
	Shout(751)
	Enemy()
	SetGlobal("helptarget","LOCALS",1)
	Continue()
END

any block that changes allegiance needs to check for current allegiance or charmed status at least.

 

edit: wow, this is in virtually all of the help shouts. can you tell me where i can add !StateCheck(Myself,STATE_CHARMED) before a re-install? it looks like helpadd.baf is the one to change.

I'm not near a copy of BG at the moment, but basically you need to edit helpadd.ssl, in the help subdirectory, before reinstalling.

David,

is this something you would (want to) change yourself for the next version?

Yeah, it's a bug, not deliberate intent.
