NPC "I want to pulp" dance

Open Coolthulhu opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

NPCs try to pulp corpses out of their range, then try to go back to player as soon as they leave the follow distance, before finishing the pulping.

I couldn't reproduce, I think it can be closed (or it was due to some specific command settings)

From what I can tell, it keeps happening with default NPC settings. It's not exactly infinite, but it really slows them down.

  • Spawn 5x5 zombie dogs
  • Kill all monsters with debug option
  • Spawn NPC
  • Ally the NPC
  • Move away from the corpse pile - 5-6 tiles or so should suffice
  • Wait

The NPC will spend most of the time walking back and forth, as if undecided between pulping and standing near player. Every few "cycles", some pulping will be done, but it's incredibly time-inefficient.
