Mazzy and Valygar bug????

Post by tlibro »

I have both Mazzy and Valygar in my party. I was fighting some vampires and Valygar was Dire Charmed. When this happened, Mazzy turned red(enemy) and her picture disappeared from the right side of the screen. I cast Dispel Magic on Valygar to dispel the charm, and then his picture disappeared and he stayed red also. Has anyone else seen this?? This happened in Bodhi's lair the first time too but I just reloaded and kept them out of the fight the next time. Also, I have Anomen in the party and the Ring of Regeneration doesn't work on him. It heals everyone else in the party, but not Anomen. Is this normal??

What AI scripts are you using for your party?The problem might be that when one or more party members are Dire Charmed/Dominated and their circles turn red,the rest of the party treats them as an enemy for the purposes of their individual scripts,and attacks.When the Dire Charm wears off,the affected characters retain full knowledge of what happened while they were Charmed,and subsequently turn hostile.

As for Anomen's regeneration problem,a piece of equipment he is wearing,i.e. a weapon or his armour,could be the cause.The same thing happens to Keldorn when using his sword,the one that causes magic damage (I can't remember the name).

OK, this looks like a scripting error unforeseen by the programmers. After Mazzy and Valygar have had several dialogues, a global gets set that causes Mazzy to leave the party and become hostile whenever Valygar becomes hostile, and vice versa. Short of rewriting the scripts, the only way to prevent this happening is to protect them both from charm spells with the Helm of Charm Protection or the priest spell Chaotic Commands. Valygar's personal armor is also supposed to protect him from being charmed.
There's nothing a little poison couldn't cure...

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

OK, thanks. I'll just have to make sure he doesn't get charmed anymore.

Valygar: Why mr. vampire you have such a charming personallity.
Mazzy: DIE RANGER SCUM!!!!

Interesting...
When logic and proportion,
Have fallen sloppy dead,
And the White Knight is talking backwards,
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the doormouse said.
