pAI's can pull alive facehugger

Post by xywenx00 » 12 Aug 2015, 08:51

Bug Description:
Basically what the title says. I don't have any screenshots though.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Become a pAI and go intole mobile form
2. Find a alive facehugger
3. Press the shortcut to pull something (I think it's control + left click) and pull the facehugger

This has happened to me before, it is infuriating.

pAIs should pull nothing at all.

Doesn't mean it should do something. I don't prefer side kicks that should change the tide of the battle. In fact, pAIs are just nothing like NPC animal mobs.

They should still be able to pull light objects. Not face huggers, but other things yes.

PAIs can also block xenos. I saw 3 ravagers get killed this way today.

It's rough cause there's no way to kill a PAI short of eating it or aciding it. Neither work fast enough to stop you being blocked.

That should just be a rule though.

Would be simpler and better to give pais the same movement properties as xeno larvae. Goes through mobs without blocking or pushing.

Or just get rid or PAI altogether. They serve no function other than to act as an annoyance at best, and mildly griefy at worst. Ooh, they can translate. Too bad no-one ever gives a crap about diplomacy.
