Homunculus uses draw wounds recklessly

Postby 2tousent » Sun Nov 11, 2018 4:55 pm

So i just finish a fight in which both me and my Homunculus get hurt,

After the fight i summon him and start resting, and he uses draw wounds to heal me and and nearly kills himself, if not for the new preservation mechanic.

Is he suposed to do that while not in battle? I was in no danger at all and now hims max HP got drained for no reason

::blink:: How strange. No, AIs definitely shouldn't be killing themselves using Draw Wounds, DP or not. I'll look into it. Thanks for the report!

I haven't had much luck reproducing this issue so far. Do you remember any other relevant information? (i.e.: Had you taught Homunculus any new abilities, were there any status effects present on either of you, were its MaxHP already reduced or were yours, etc.)

Hmm... looks like you summoned it, and it immediately managed to kill itself with DW. Might be something to that... I'll keep trying the repro, thanks for the character dump and additional details. :D

Well I'm a flipping moron.

Without meaning to, I basically entirely disabled the "HEY IS THIS GONNA KILL ME" check for Draw Wounds if the target is a summoner, back when I added Aux Guard. I'm amazed it went this long without causing trouble... then again, the AI evaluation for Draw Wounds tends to really hate using it in general (as it should), so it would probably only allow a suicidal DW in a case where the player's HP were also drastically low.

Will be fixed in the next build, which will probably be fairly soon since I won't want this hanging around any longer than it already has been (but there are some other fixes I want in too.)

Thanks for the report!

Probably you don't want to have your demon with draw wounds to kill themselves unless your main character recieved damage recently, or there are enemies around the least. It would cause still lots of grief when someone summons demon to regenerate it, and it kills itself. (not like they regen while unsummoned I think, but still it would cause lots of strange behavior. Or add to description that it cannont kill itself unless summoner gravely wounded. So at least players would know that if they want to preserve demon they better to unsummon him.

It shouldn't be able to kill itself to Draw Wounds at all though. :) There's almost no point to it: since Draw Wounds can't heal more than the damage it does, the only benefit to a Draw Wounds using character killing themselves to use it would be 1 extra point of healing gained by spending the last 1 HP keeping it alive, which would almost never make a difference (and even less likely make a difference anyone would agree was worth the demon dying or having to be preserved over.)
