ravenborne Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Dont know if this has come up yet, but apparently Avatar Rasputina has an aura that makes all models gain shatter 2. What happens when facing Hamelin and a bunch of rats are in that range and one gets killed? Is an Infinite chain possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dsmiles Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Huh. I don't think so. I would imagine that any damage from exploding rats is "simultaneous" so that any rats produced by said exploding rats wouldn't be damaged. Otherwise, this could be problematic.

0 Hateful Darkblack Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 "Oh man, our game had a stack overflow while the rules were generating and killing an Infinite number of rats. We're both going to go get a pizza and come back to see if they've stopped spawning and exploding in the meantime. Maybe we can get them to write a script for Hamlet in the meantime."

0 ravenborne Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yes, that's why I asked. It brings up the question of exactly how this stacking order works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 dsmiles Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I honestly can't imagine it being anything other than all damage then all spawning. Otherwise it would never end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kael Hate Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It only has to be infinite if the players make it so. The Rats spawn in b2b before being removed so the player can move the rats until outide of the range of Hamelin/Ratcatcher or a shattering rat.

0 Mr. Bigglesworth Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Dsmiles I believe is right. Dmg then summon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wolfgar Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 It would have to be damage then spawn, cuz it can't work the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kadeton Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, I think in any situation where there are two options, and one of them makes the game crash, it doesn't take much mental acuity to conclude that the other option is the one to go with.

0 magicpockets Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd say resolve all damage, then summon new rats. Same as with a blast template etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ravenborne Posted January 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Well, it was funny to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hateful Darkblack Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 Oh good. I'll go aplly this rule to the twelve suspended games I had, all frozen by infinite spawning rats. They were starting to clog out my house anyway, and buying new aRasputinas every time this happens was getting expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
ravenborne
Dont know if this has come up yet, but apparently Avatar Rasputina has an aura that makes all models gain shatter 2. What happens when facing Hamelin and a bunch of rats are in that range and one gets killed? Is an Infinite chain possible?
