Title: Directional facing
Post by: Evilness45 on April 16, 2011, 06:25:06 pm

Ok, I noticed something but I'm not sure if its really a bug or not.
I was with my rogue using bowling bash like a boss, but for some reason I couldn't figure out how the hell it worked. I finally realised that it simply pushed the monster in the direction I was facing. Now, apparently this game doesn't consider attacking as a valid reason to face a new direction, and the only way for me to actually turn around is to take a step in that direction. Shift clicking makes my sprite turn around but the game doesn't really think I actually face another direction.
SO! As I was BB stuff, I noticed that my target sometime was pushed toward me instead of away from me.

All this to say, this game only think you face a new direction only when you are walking. Turning manually doesn't work. Is this supposed to be normal?

If im correct BB doesnt do it on where you were facing but in the direction you were moving in.

Note that it's not the only time I noticed that. I just don't remember the other time it happened to me.

Edit: oh yeah! When you are using slide back. It does mostly the same thing, and I mean it slides back according to the direction you walked, and not the direction you are facing. To be honest, I'm not sure it should work like that.

I just look it up im right:P...

So if you move south then use bowling bash the monsters will go south as well.


Dont quote me on this since i have very little understanding of the script but id imagine they simply didnt code it to rely on the direction your facing and simply did it so it would do it towards the direction you last moved. If you dont think it should be that way you can always make a suggestion to change it.

I know it does that. I was asking if it's normal that it does that.

oh... yes that is the way the skill was coded. It has always been that way and its that way on the officials.

Back sliding too?

BB has always worked like that for me. Back sliding is opposite of whichever direction I am facing.
