Resting despawns NPCs captured with Lasso

Post by SCP-079 » Thu Sep 16, 2021 7:37 am

Description
==========

If you rest while controlling an NPC that you have successfully used the Lasso item on, the captured NPC will disappear.


Steps to reproduce
----------------------------

1. Get a Lasso
2. Beat an NPC down to Near Death
3. Use Lasso on that NPC to capture it
4. Rest


Expected result
-----------------------

The captured NPC will remain in your group and keep following you around.


Actual result
-------------------

The captured NPC will be removed from your group and despawn. The combat log states "You are no longer dominating [Name of NPC]".


Screenshot(s)
--------------------

Misc Notes
----------------

This happens both with NPCs captured on the same server and those captured on one and then transferred to another.


Which Server(s)?
------------------------
All


Gaming Platform(s)?
------------------------------
PC, Windows, GOG Galaxy

This system has been rather underpolished for a long time and could probably do with an overhaul.
Strictly speaking I wonder if this system could be better achieved by moving it to the henchmen mechanic from leadership (not actually using the skill, just party system) but retain the no combat state.
