Yeah - it's messed up. I'm in the process of making my own system, to be completed this summer after classes end.

See your illusions were working.. just some people work around them

Thoros is just that evil. But so much fun to have Nihilists with combat logs!

he probably has trans arts

No trans arts. The anti illusion is all my own personal scripting.

Edit: And trans arts doesn't show illusion, its got something like 'You spot a flaw in the illusion' or something. Not too sure on the message.

Is something like that particularly difficult? Anti illusion scripting I mean. Does it require sophisticated knowledge of the system, or is it just a lot of grind work getting the script to keep track of this and that and such?

hrmm that's nice then. Yeah trans arts give some line when you notice illusions so I figured you had it and that you triggered it to echo that illusion line.

There are several different types of anti-illusion scripting. You can turn off afflictions based on the class you're fighting. If it's an Aquamancer, turn off everything related to aeon! You can also do things to see if you're actually webbed - stand, for instance. You can code to deal with most illusions - Thoros is immune to 95% of mine.

Never helping you test something again.

I thought there was a way to tell what an illusion is regardless of what the text says or how long it is. Something about the way the linespacing works.

Magnagora enemied you. I made sure they reversed it. Sheer incompetence on their part is what caused it. I use real people's names in my illusions because they are more believable - if they see Estarra trying to Judge or Decapitate them, are they going to think it's an illusion? What if I replace those with Desitrus or Geb? They are not designed to hurt you in any way - they're designed to get someone to snap out of their current mindset and take a look at who's actually fighting them. I've had Flacarealah whine because I jumped her with Nico, when in fact she didn't LOOK to see that Nico was in fact a simple illusion. Blame those who can't recognize an illusion, not those who use them. It's all been fixed - I made sure of that. I'm sorry for their reaction, but the blame is on them.

Daganev - I'm not sure on that, actually. I like wrapwidth 250 because it is harder to stack several lines in one standard illusion. Fighting against wrapwidth 80, you can manipulate the spaces in the illusion to line up with their wrapwidth and appear to be new lines. It's also much simpler for me to code - multiple lines get annoying.

I'm really just not helping you with that stuff anymore, one enemy status was enough since Aiakon's character was dead set against believing anything I said.

I was about to say look at who enemied you.. Intentional or unintentional ignorance, that's pretty sad.

No dear, it's what we call 'Roleplay'.

I realised pretty quickly that it must have been illusory confusion on the part of the guy who was attacked by Forren. And I let Dylara know that by MSG, even as Aiakon refused to believe her filthy furrikin lies.

rofl that's why I love Aiakon's character. reminds me of the seal of life event where he killed also those poor sick furrballs
