Pretender Troubles *RESOLVED*

[UninspiredName]

1: That's odd, I tried it with a restrictedgod command as well.

2: I don't know what was up with that either, but it's been since fixed.

3: That's strange, I got a gamecrash when I tried that.

4: My current build has no problem with the monster's name.

As I wrote, it looks like the #secondshape command is messing it up somehow.

Another way to get a pretender form is to copy an existing pretender rather than modifying it, and then modify the new form. I think #secondshape will still mess it up though.

For testing purposes, you could design the pretender with the #secondshape commented out, and then use it with the #secondshape in, though if you can wish for him, that probably works. Maybe #secondshape has problems without a specific order for the commands to be used, or something.

Sorry about that PvK, I skipped over your last post. Now that I think about it, all the 'shapechange when in trouble' pretenders use shapechanges instead of secondforms. At any rate, he works fine when he's overwriting the Frost Father, which nobody over here uses anyways. I'll mess with secondshape a bit and see if it changes anything.

Make both his forms pretenders. You could also check out my Anansi mod; it has a properly working shape-changing pretender.

Success! With Mini Italian Plumber as a pretender as well, (Restricted to a 'reserved' nation ) none shall be safe from Mario's divine headstomping wrath!

Thanks for your help, all. It couldn't have been done without you.

So was it that both forms needed to be prentenders (#pathcost/#pathstartdom)?

I think so, but... It's busted again. I don't even know how it happened. At any rate, I'm just getting rid of the secondform altogether, for the time being. It causes more trouble than it's worth.
