For example, sometimes the guy will protect himself in the egg-shape but it still would ascend on the air. Looks really strange. Sometimes I've also heard pain sounds when they shouldn't be heard. The projectiles also look kinda weird, being that yellow-ish. It would look better if they matched the guy's colours. Maybe a blue or purple, or a combination of both, would look nice. Like the colours from the Dark Imp's fireball in KDZID.

The first line is FamiliarSpawn imppai // Afrit/Imp But IMPPAI is actually the Gargoyle and Afrit's Pain sound. You would like to play the SPAWN3 sound, which is also packed in your file but never referenced in SNDINFO. Last edit: 2 years 4 months ago by SSkies.

It can possess dormant monsters and target dummies from a mod that I'm using to test my monsters. You can prevent this by adding this line to the if clause in your posses() function Code: && !InStateSequence(obj.curstate, obj.ResolveState("Spawn")) This will prevent the function from continuing if the monster is still in its spawn state (which is the case for dormant monsters and target dummies), I had the same issue with my Cacomancer and this check solved it. 2. Possessed monsters become very slow instead of faster. This is just a typo, you can fix this with owner.Speed ***+=*** 5 instead of owner.Speed =+ 5 (which slows them down to 5 speed) Last edit: 2 years 4 months ago by DeVloek.
