NPC's running through closed doors and being attacked across z-levels.

[Techmind]

Describe the bug

NPC's are broken they get attacked thought z-levels and will run through closed doors. I also had a similar message with npc being underground (-1 level) and it was attacked by ant from "0-level" i think a few hundred turns before.

Steps to reproduce

Google drive link to save: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19xG0Yq0MfjPzj0h42GWBSnbPiGRJQ7dC/view?usp=sharing Probably has something to do with latest experimental versions there is couple of bugs: A) if you open the door and lead ants to nps they will attack them, debug message with " DEBUG : Z-Level view violation: the ant tried to attack Charlotte Hall.

FUNCTION : bool monster::melee_attack(Creature&, float) FILE : src/monster.cpp LINE : 1593 VERSION : 9da956a"

appers and npc disappears.

B) If you don't open the door and wait for a few turns NPCS will run through door without opening it

Expected behavior

Npc opening doors and not disappearing.

Additional context

No response

[hexagonrecursion]

Confirmed using the save file you attached. Note: I do not have Arcana. The NPCs are hallucinations. This can be confirmed by viewing their @ status window via the cheat menu.

• The two hallucinations run through a door w/o opening it. What should they do? The only alternative is hallucinations being stuck against a closed door which is not any less confusing.
• They trigger a debug assertion when attacked. This is a bug.
• The following is printed to the chat when they disappear:

  Otis Burgos triggers a spiked board!
  Otis Burgos disappears.
  Charlotte Hall triggers a spiked board!
  Charlotte Hall disappears.

Ok, did not know i can halluciante NPCS, then i guess can be considered a "feature". Through debug message is a bit annoying.

[hexagonrecursion]

I have opened a separate bug for z-level assertions. This issue can be kept for discussion of what can be done about hallucinatory NPCs phasing through doors. As you have demonstrate this can cause player confusion. A possibly less confusing solution is for the NPCs to disappear right before they try to go through a door.

Hallucinations in the attached save file still phase through closed doors even after #54307 was merged

@hexagonrecursion Regarding #54307, dseguin commented on Fris0uman''s comment in that thread:

Because if they can't open doors at all they'll stay stuck on the other side instead of following you.

It looks like that behaviour still works: Not sure if that's the way it's supposed to work, but the door remains closed.

If hallucinations are interacting w/ doors, they are having a physical impact in the game. Having them phase thru seems like the best solution for now.
