Report 732

Report #732
Skillset: Transmology Skill: Madfly
 Org: Illuminati Status: Completed Jan 2012
Furies' Decision:
We will investigate whether it is possible for madflies to track.
Problem: Currently, madflies are unable to follow targets who use special
movements such as tumble and leap. This causes savy combatants to tumble
immediately upon seeing madfly cast, effectively wasting 5p for the Illuminati.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #1: Allow illuminati to move their madflies manually
 using the default ORDER MADFLY MOVE <dir> command.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #2: Change Madfly to be an affliction, rather than a
 denizen.
[A: 0 R: 0] Solution #3: Change madflies to pursue their targets, ala Nihilism
 Spawn.

Solution 1 seems fine.
---[Shuyin on 1/11 @ 20:15 writes]:
Solution 1 is all that's needed, but I don't mind solution 3!
---[Rivius on 1/13 @ 03:09 writes]:
So long as the target must be present in the room for the initial casting, I'm
fine with solution 1.

I am fine with solution 1 for this. That said, Sol. 3 is a possibility provided
the chasing was not instant
---[Iytha on 1/17 @ 01:07 writes]:
AFICT, spawn chase at the same rate as other chasing mobs, ie. not instantly.
---[Morshoth on 1/18 @ 20:38 writes]:
Fine with solution 1, if present as Rivius mentioned
---[Sidd on 1/20 @ 22:33 writes]:
I think solution 1 and 3 should be put in together
---[Wobou on 1/24 @ 15:42 writes]:
I'm fine with either sol 1 or 3
