Title: Stop hitting yourself!
Post by: BEEF on March 06, 2010, 18:59

I was punching a mancubus without Brute, and I guess he got bored because about halfway through I heard the demon melee scratch and got the message "You hit the mancubus. The mancubus hits the mancubus."

The other mancubus I punched to death a few levels earlier didn't do that, so it might have something to do with Fireangel.

It's a problem with all enemies that lack a melee attack. As far as I'm aware, mancubi cannot do anything in melee range, so their AI says "Run in one of the 9 directions." Every 1 in 9 times when it says "move to where you are right now", the monster is unfamiliar with the concept of waiting and misinterprets it as "Attack the being in the square you're in right now".
