Bot naming
Posted: Tue Jun 30, 2009 9:12 am
First off, loving the server so far. Great work!
Just ran into an issue with bot naming.
It's entirely my fault, but I didn't expect it to let me do it, not sure if this is something that can be fixed in coding or not.
My beastlord's cleric bot (id#1000973) is named Burke, and was created when I made the beastlord.
Today I made an actual PC cleric, and named it Burke also (old habits die hard..), which it allowed me to do (I expected it to reject the name if it would cause any issues.. I believe if things are done in the opposite order, PC created first and then someone attempts to make a bot with the same name, the server doesn't allow it). The trouble happened when I caught the PC cleric up to the beastlord and wanted some extra healing to attempt a CoM named and, without thinking, popped out the beastlord's Burke bot. The PC Burke was instantly disconnected to character select screen as the bot Burke seemed to take over its presence in the zone.
Yikes! Could be very bad.
