Spears

[devSin]

Most of the spears in my install have range 1? Shouldn't it be range 2? Do we already fix this?

 

I spent a few moments over the last couple weeks to investigate attack styles and ranges, but I'll spare us all from the knowledge. It's a big mess (too big, esp. with creature attacks).

It was suggested as a tweak; haven't gotten around to coding it yet.

SperMel is the most important (she has one of the animations that will bump CREs out of the way if she tries to get closer than 2).

 

I didn't actually check the spear animations in-game; I think it should be 2, but I haven't verified.

Easy fix; spermel works with a range of 2.
