Greater Mist Horrors follow despite not detecting you
« on: December 19, 2021, 09:11:31 PM »
Whether intentional or not I don't know, but if you are walking in stealth inside the mists, and greater mist horrors spawn in they will follow you throughout the entire zone, stopping directly on top of you, just to follow you again when you start walking even if they can't detect you. This particularly happens in those stone bridge walkway areas where they are setup to ambush you.

This seems to be a bug not just with mist horrors but when you trigger a script that spawns in enemies, such as the greater zombie golem in the curst cave.  The script overwrites any detection and the spawned in entities follow in the person who triggered the spawn.

Yes I've seen this happen during ambush events, notably including the Wasp tower in Barovia. While they do not attack stealthed characters, the monsters will swarm around you boxing you in.

And here I was, thinking this was normal the whole time... it's very annoying, indeed.

For anyone interested, this happens when the spawnpoint uses the MovetoTrigger variable. It seems to take the triggering object as its target, rather than the location of the trigger itself. Hilarity ensues.
