Summary

0000170: Jiyva interface improvements

Description

A few issues of varying severity here:

A) Shifters transformed into eyes, jellies, and so on will attack you. However, even though they're not friendly you will incur penance for attacking them. I propose that if they turn into a J/G and then have the audacity to attack you, they have this happen: "The jelly shaped shifter is awed by the power of Jiyva! The jelly shaped shifter forgets its former identity and trembles before you."

B) Attacking a sleeping, non-fellow-slime J/G gives a "Really attack the helpless jelly?" message. You will basically never want to hit 'Y', so why even make this an option? Walking into a sleeping slime should just wake them up and convert them, not taking a turn (as if you'd specified 'N' on the old prompt). Note the interaction effect between A and B, though, for sleeping slime-shaped shifters (say that one three times fast!)

C) Casting Cigotuvi's Degeneration generated a "Really fire through..." prompt for me when a jelly was behind something I was targeting. This in itself is buggy behavior, but more importantly, Jiyva probably shouldn't care if I degenerate J/Gs into pulsating lumps (which are still Js).

Notes
(0022773) mumra (developer) 2013-05-21 20:25	I think this can be closed now. A) Is handled for Jiyva as long as you know it's a shapeshifter. B) Seems pretty minor C) Cigutovi's no longer exist Since this is a FR anyway, if patches were offered for A or B they might be accepted, but FR's should go on the devwiki now.
