players not attacking back?

most of the time my players get atatcked and they wont defend themselves, they dont attack, they do parry the hits tho.

it doesnt matters if they are in warmode or not, this always happens.
any idea???

Are they afk when they are attacked?

I dont believe auto-attack is enabled. Umm players dont auto-retaliate on my shard either.

 

[juani]

no
just walking
monster attacks
(like a slime, not red) and they wont fight back...

maybe they diotn attack reds?

 

[Kamron]

I dont believe they will attack back unless it is red. You will have to test this, but I know that players dont normally auto-retaliate to (or auto-defend, however you want to think of it).

When was the last time on OSI that players would autoretaliate? I havn't played osi since the original 'no expansions' version. Saved my butt plenty of times in those '(in?)convenient' disconnects.

if something attacks a player, the player will fight back, however if another thing attacks the player while the player is fighting, that player will just sit there. This is actually a good thing as it keeps people from going to an orc camp, with a bandage macro and go to sleep then wake up a GM in swords, parry, Tacitcs anatomy and healing.

the 1st slime that attacks them they will attack but the 2nd one will start hitting them while the 1st is attacking them and then when the 1st one is dead, the player will just sit there.

This is normal

If the 1st one that attacks them they do not attack, then it may be something in a custom script if you have them or it may be something that was changed. in either case you will need to find out what was changed.

The default "auto-retaliate" is how I explained it.

also...

Make sure the information you get from players is accurate, test it yourself and see if you can reproduce this, then you will have a better understanding of the problem if it is in fact a problem.

many times seen that happen, i didnt know of the 2nd attacker thingie....

what delimits an attacker from the other? the first one death? tabbing?

that is, if a slime attacks a player, what is needed so the player will attack the 2nd slime that attacks him?

I'm not really sure, it's something I've not messed with yet
