I have noticed that snails, no matter what, have a rather long delay after death before their loots are spawned. I remember there was more NPCs that had this but I do not remember which ones. Anyone else know which NPCs have this?
NPCs don't drop stuff (a). And it's not a bug, not lag. It's designed to drop AFTER the full die animation. Something which I don't like though... Since it feels like lagg.
oh okay. so the death animation is just longer. what if you guys add a case? either if npc == id drop in ___ seconds or if npc == id drop in durationOFdeathanimation - ___ seconds (given you have a durationOF function already..
What? Have you considered that having never seen the source it may actually be implemented in a logical way, not the way a first year cs student would program it. Like for example, after the animation is finished it a callback function could be run, or even in the destructor of the flyweight definition itself, etc, rather than having some bizarre timing system midway through the animations for drops. Also, how do you know they have a duration "function". Is the source available somewhere and I'm missing the obvious o_0. I'm sorry but given your previous comment in the gay marriage thread I'm really left scratching my head.
I don't see any issue with the drops dropping after the death animation ends. It seems more logical to me. If you start messing around with timers during the death animation it causes instances where ranged attackers would see the drops dropping before their stars/arrows even hit the monster.
