Moonblade (and soon to be Flameblade!) bug

Unread post by metaquad4 »

Moonblade's script seems to be incapable of hitting targets with large hit boxes, such as dracoliches, balors, etc.

Just spawned a dracolich and a balor in the east farmlands, and I had no problems hitting either of them with Moonblade. What race where your character when you tested this?

Aasimar was the race. I'll test again. My character swung the moonblade, but the script never fired off. This was last night and the night before. It was consistent across all large dragons and outsiders I tried it on. Small/normal sized creatures were impacted, large ones were not.

Did you per chance unequip the moonblade at any point in time? There is a script-merge bug currently that allows it to be unequipped without poofing, but the active script will end.

I transitioned, but I'm pretty sure I never unequipped it.

I noticed a similar issue with the Dracolich. I was thinking it may be caused by the peculiar greater breach it casts. It removes a lot more than the 4 wards I thought it was supposed to, and is maybe taking moonblade too, leaving just the vfx.

Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know, that the bug is still there. I cant seem to hit the white dragon with moon blade.

If I switch my target to the Dragon Disciples, I can hit them. So dispelling cant be the solution to the issue.

The issue is with large hit-boxes. The script has difficulty with them. It'll need to be fixed. It is pretty consistent for me. Specifically, hitting dragons seems to be particularly difficult. Humanoids don't seem to cause issues.

That is bizarre. I'll have to test again on more mobs, but it is pretty consistent with being unable to hit a creature if my character's hitbox can't touch its centre mass.

Tested on Aasimar.
