! hostiled Party Member

Title says all. Seems like pretty broken functionality if this is common.

As an experienced NWN's scripter and player, I don't see how that's possible, if they're in your party, their color and function tags should tell the computer "Party"?

Unless it somehow kicked them out of party? Do you have any more information on the interaction?

o . O;

The way you said it feels more like a Neverwinter Nights interface bug than an Arelith one.

I received a tell "lol you hostiled me" after I used "!"
we were in the same party at the time.
We both agreed it was strange. That's all I got ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The yellow text message will pop up for everyone "[Character] has hostiled you." when you use ! to hostile the area.
But they won't change to a hostile target even with the message, they'll remain "blue" and not hostile as long as they're in your party.
I'm guessing maybe they saw the text pop up and got a bit confused or something.

Oh yeah, that seems like functionality consistent with my experience.

It tells everyone that you triggered a hostile -- but only the people outside your party actually become "functionally" hostile. This allows your companions to know you're about to throw down~

Note: Using this message as a means to get ready to throw down too, ie buffing etc etc, is technically meta gaming, try to avoid
allowing it to influence your gameplay =p
