Mods "[Sky Island] Fix Evict hostiles interacting with normally-unkillable monsters exp "

Purpose of change

Getting infinite XP from killing one Person in Sky Island trivializes Bombastic Perks and Martial Mastery,

Describe the solution

Change Evict Hostiles so it evokes u_die, and thus the creature that dies does not have an assigned killer.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Testing

Kill a Person, did not gain millions of XP.

Additional context

Also fine.

Also fine.

Like you said, it's not a bug, but I doubt it's intended.

Edit: Maybe I should just pull the trigger on turning off portal storms while you're on your island, since there's already a bunch of infrastructure to make them and all their effects go away while you're up there.

Eviction granting XP is totally unintended and I planned to fix it as soon as I could when I saw the bug report. Thanks for fixing it.

Don't forget to make the u_die remove the corpse and don't leave a message about the target dying. It's the island sending them to nobody-knows-where, not you killing them. It's also intended that you lose on loot when using it, so you don't try to bring foes home to kill them for their stuff.

I plan to make portal storms not happen while on the island and interrupted by the player returning by any means. The island is intended to be safe and the player now has tools to make sure it stays that way.

It'll pave the way to the first Sky Island challenge upgrade, where players can heighten difficulty for shards if they survive: start at the start and center of a portal storm.

so you don't try to bring foes home to kill them for their stuff.

Is that actually possible?

Is that actually possible?

Sky Island allows to craft an item that can be used to capture creatures of any size. The code says that this capture action has a flat 1/10 chance to work against full-hp enemies and gets higher the more injured the enemy is.

So yes, it is in fact possible. Not likely nor practical, but possible.
