Seahorse and spirit form
« on: November 12, 2011, 10:35:05 am »
I'll call it a bug, but perhaps it is just an unintended consequence.

When riding a seahorse, changing in to spirit form makes movement impossible. While I eventually figured out from reading these forums that I could get out of spirit form by pressing a number on the keyboard, I think there should be another way.
Perhaps pressing right-click while still over Naija's body should take you out of spirit form?

The main reason I think it is important that there be another way, is that up to that point, the keyboard is optional, and there is nothing to indicate its necessity there.

Press both mouse buttons at once, that way you return to normal form. Works the same for other forms, too.

*facepalm* Oh, of course. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that.

Still annoying not being able to move, but thanks.

Hm, will have a look at the scripts, can't be hard to fix... stay tuned!
EDIT: Whoa cool, it even did a full-freeze for me. o_O

EDIT2: Fixed!  :)

Copy the Lua files into your scripts/entities/ folder, and replace the existing ones. But backup your old ones just to be sure!

Hmm... Similar freeze happens when you (force) hug Li and try to go into Spirit Form.

Yeah, its the same mechanics. I'll fix this in a bit, if you aren't faster and do it earlier. :P

Fun fact: Naija is actually "riding" Li while the hug is on.

*cough*
