More Calm Stuff (combat-trainer)

[Sagadin]

Combat trainer still doesn't correctly recognize tactic movement (bob, weave, circle) - I would propose just skipping those responses and moving along with whatever was planned next.

Combat trainer also doesn't correctly handle being calmed early in the AIM process, as it will cause the player to drop focus on the target, leaving a response message of: "That weapon must be in your right hand to fire!" after finally not being calmed instead of firing.

When this happens I would suggest either immediately refiring (which would be a snapshot, and have a fair chance of missing depending on skill) or re-aiming (which could cause a long loop if there are many creatures that cast Calm). I would think the snapshot would be the most preferable of those options in the long run.

Could you post a log of some of these events?

Having problems finding a copy of a "That weapon must be in your right hand to fire!" happening, but that's the exact game return after "shoot" when aim has been interrupted by Calm.

[Sagadin]

This is the messaging. In this case the warcat in question died in between aiming and being fired at, but the new warcat in the room drew the same message.
