naam...found another exploit that I don't feel like fixing -- if we keep the party leader out of enemy triggers, we can loot a room clean with another partymember : ) but since they can wander around on their own accord, we can't have them triggering enemy encounters by themselves!
...it's similar to the truce exploit -- some storybits will set a local truce to have the story happen without enemy intervention. If you simply don't let the storytbit finish, you can go grab items without enemy intervention, and exit the room ^^
...I'd like to think fights in my game are so superficial and inconsequential that I can leave stuff like this in, really. It's nagging me tho, but I cannot see a graceful way to prevent this (without mucking up the happyGoLucky feel of it all)
...I could disable exits and interactors if a temp truce is set, but that doesn't sit well -- the idea of the whole dollhouse mechanic is you can mess about with everything in the scene _whenever_ -- the scene will manage to continue regardless what the actors are doing

...so items stay active, exits are exitable, no matter what is happening. Heck you can even trigger multiple storybits at the same time and have them happen in parallel! : D won't feel right to disable pickups just because there's enemies around

....hmmmm maybe I could try make enemies trigger only to player-instigated motion commands? Like, if the partymembers wander around randomly, it'd be unfair to have that trigger enemies. But if the player sends them to an item cache...

(like, you don't want the player pickingup a puppet for inspection, then putting them donw in a _slightly_ different place to trigger enemies)

...also, haha! If there's not a battle going on in my game, you can actually play with the _enemy_ puppets, and move them about ^^ the more I think about it, the more I think it alll should have nice chaotic consequences ^^

...dangit I should make it possible for the player to drop enemies on _partymembers_, and have them open battle with initiative! : D

...and because it needed fixing now anyway, I also made sure that sending partymembers around now _does_ attract enemies, so that's one exploit fixed ^^
