hi everyone,

while writing my rpg I keep running into a problem with the combat library:
when i set a monster to defend the player via

do(monster, "settodefend")
(described in: https://github.com/ThePix/quest/wiki/CombatLib-Part-13:-Friend-or-Foe%3F)

it seems to work, as it starts to follow me around. but as soon as we encounter enemies it starts attacking itself, without doing any damage... I think I set up the library correctly (incl. running CombatInitialise) since everything else seems to work fine.

Grateful for any advice!

Is there an attribute which holds a list of enemies, by any chance?

Oh... Yep. Says on the page to which you linked:

The list of attackers is maintained in a list on the game object called "attackers"

Is the "defender" on that "attackers" list, by any chance? (This is just a stab in the dark. Not even a shot in the dark, mind you. Just a stab.)

I checked via the Debugger: He is on the "game.friends" list, but the "game.attackers" is empty, even if i engage enemies

Now its getting strange:
I put some enemies on the "game.attackers" list and they either start attacking me or themselves (and they will one do one thing repetedly)
I also noticed, they wail themselves to negative health without triggering the makedead script (talking of undead...)

Im getting more and more confused here...

If you can post your code, we'll look over it and see if something stands out.
