Ogre across the Zainge River is invisible
« on: August 28, 2005, 07:29:00 AM »
This may have been a lag issue, I dont know.  Last night I went across the river to get oats and saw that two ogre brutes had spawned.  However I could only see one ogres body.  I f I hit tab I could see the name floating over them but only the one was actually there.  I attacked and killed the visible one.  The other one must ahve seen me as it ran over to me and began hitting me.  I couldnt target anything on it and it was beating me senseless so I ran.  In the midst of running in circles, I sent a help message over the DM channel but no one was on.  After a few minutes (I think.  Maybe less) I ran into Fort Llast to see if the Pawn Shop vendor would be able to see him.  

He did and he killed it.  I have screen shots of after he was dead.  Sorry I didnt get more of when he was chasing me but I was busy trying to run and type into the DM channel.

Anyway, if it was lag then no big deal.  I havent been back on since then to check if it happens again.

I believe that is a common Bioware bug. It can happen from time to time when monsters are spawned. I suffered from it occasionally in the OC.

I have experianced this before too in both single-player, and multiplayer modes.

I think it happens when the camera is positioned in such a way that it catches the spawn at an odd angle, and some of the scripts somehow mess up....
Still on hiatus.  I'm sure my original characters are long gone, too.

Best way to snuff them "hidden" monsters you use an "uber"summon.. some thing that can kill an orge by it's self per say

Here's how to kill them:

First, what Lunch said. Use a summon.

Second, Area damage.

Third, change areas, usually the graphics will fix itself if it
the mob follows you. If you are unlucky, you'll need to do it
multiple times.

Fourth, target a nearby creature, when it has been killed
the autotarget will target the next creature which will be the
"invisible" one if it's the only one left. Else it will be
random but it will get targeted eventually.

Fifth, sometimes a "selfdefense" AI kicks in and makes your
character target the attacker. Bad way, since it rarely
functions when you want to.

Sixth, run around and get an attack of opportunity on the
"invisible" creature. Just as bad as the suggestion above.
