like if your starting pet hit a polytrap 14:30 proposal: 14:30 because you cant spam create them at will 14:31 take fiqhack/splicehack code for a time limit on summoned monsters where they poof into nonexistence after their time runs out 14:31 use that on created spheres 14:31 the spheres created by the spell have two new bitfields attached to them, so it'd be easy to separate them from normal spheres 14:31 aosdict thats a great idea 14:32 it's not like you're trying to get a long term pet when casting these spells 14:33 adding to the 'pad 14:33 what are the new bitfields 14:33 isspell and uexp 14:33 isspell flags it as having been created via spell 14:33 uexp flags it as 'if this creature kills something, you get the exp for it' 14:34 what uses isspell 14:35 that's the part that'd probably generalize to time-limited mons 14:35 currently only the spheres generated via spell 14:35 yeah, but what bits of code *read* isspell 14:35 ah 14:36 spell.c (the bit where the spheres are created, adds the flag) 14:36 dogmove.c 14:36 that's writing not reading 14:37 dogmove.c 14:37 reading 14:37 ah prevents them from shying away from blowing up due to hp 14:38 they'll behave more like a minion (ignore cursed obj on ground, wont worry about eating, etc) 14:38 yup 14:38 does uexp mean that if they do other things the player is credited for, the player gets credited for them? like killing a pet 14:38 yes (mhitm.c) 14:39 a lot of those checks assume context.mon_moving indicates the player is not responsible so you probably want to look at thsoe 14:39 those 14:40 right now the checks are in mdamagem() and passivemm(), and then a bit after mon_explodes() 14:42 \o/ first time i step on a magic trap i can no longer see through myself 14:43 woo 14:43 WHICH DOES NOT EXCUSE THIS DEPLORABLE NAGIC TRAP BEHAVIOUR 14:43 magic trap too 14:43 hugs <3 14:43 progress through suffering 14:43 you're mocking me aren't you. i know it 14:43 me?
