[CF-Devel] BUG, probably concerning friendly_objects

Tue Jan 16 14:05:21 CST 2001

Hi
This bug is an old one, i wrote about it some weeks ago i think.

So, it can't be Mark's changes.

This bug if often hidden, because the monsters have in many maps other
targets.
This is then the effect, thats a dragon for example fire in some other
directions
or the monster stay on a wall, trying to attack an invisible target. In many
maps
you step over the bug then, because you don't look for it.
