Hound of TIndalos move when can't attack #81

Open NPBruce opened 7 years ago

NPBruce commented 7 years ago

Currently if a hound can't move or attack it will always use this: MONSTER_HOUND_OF_TINDALOS_MOVE_00a

Should also use these some times: MONSTER_HOUND_OF_TINDALOS_MOVE_00b MONSTER_HOUND_OF_TINDALOS_MOVE_00c MONSTER_HOUND_OF_TINDALOS_MOVE_00d

Not sure when (random?)

This also applies to the Star Vampire.

In playing a scenario last night, Lloigor moved after he couldn't attack.

To clarify, after it couldn't attack or after it couldn't move?

Also that isn't he point of this issue. There are a bunch of special moves for the hound of Tindalos and Star Vampire that look like this:

MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00a,"When the beast cannot find any prey to consume, it fades from the visible plane only to reappear on the hunt once more. The {0} moves to a space within range of as many investigators as possible." MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00b,"Erupting in laughter, the abomination slips into another dimension and emerges from thin air elsewhere. The {0} moves to the farthest space of the {1}." MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00c,"Tentacles quivering, the beast catches the scent of blood! The {0} moves 3 spaces toward {1}." MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00c_ALT,"Tentacles quivering, the beast catches the scent of blood! The {0} moves 3 spaces toward {1}." MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00d,"A terrible cascade of laughter echoes around {1}, and soon the beast is upon him! The {0} moves to {1}’s space." MONSTER_STAR_VAMPIRE_MOVE_00d_ALT,"A terrible cascade of laughter echoes around {1}, and soon the beast is upon her! The {0} moves to {1}’s space."

The Lloigor only has this one:

MONSTER_LLOIGOR_MOVE,"The hulking monster growls in frustration, and dives beneath the earth with astounding speed. It reappears with a roar, drawn to its prey. The {0} moves to be in a space with the investigator who has suffered the least Horror."

So it is only a question of when this is called, rather than knowing which one to pick, and which investigator/space/etc. Particularly 00b and 00c above are tricky.
