Could we have a safety casting mode for True Flame?

Post by Kait » Tue Nov 05, 2019 3:40 pm

There's a group of spells like Isaac's Missile Storm, Firebrand that

* Don't hit players in your party
* Don't hit forest creatures that are neutral to you (until they aggro on you)
* Do hit players that are neutral to you

Then there's Fire Wall, which is always safe for neutral players, but if the player has a summon, will cause their summon to aggro on you.

This is kind-of frustrating in terms of RP. If I turn around a corner and run into a player fighting a horde of undead, my character is good aligned, wants to help. But if that player has a summon, I tend to end up just sitting there, watching them fight. (Or even worse, once or twice I have thought they were a party member of mine and ended up hitting them).

Could we have like a -safetycastingmode that would treat neutral players the same way neutral forest animals are treated? For spells that only hit hostiles, don't hit neutral players?

I'm not sure about the mode, but perhaps a developer can look into a way to preven this from happening with certain spells.

Approved.

Complete: spells that should have no friendly fire now don't.

Incomplete: neutral safe casting
