I am proposing something that given EfUs systems I think would be very simple and make players very happy. It'd work like this:


[LIST=1]
  • You type/macro /c alt-tab
  • You are placed into an idle status, using a flag
  • Moving, or activating anything cancels the idle status
  • While in the idle status, using potions/wands that cast on yourself only will auto fizzle.
  • You are refunded the potion/charge.

I have lost a lot of potions and wand charges with this frustrating nwn feature, and I know a lot of other people have too. Just something to consider.

Something that might be easier is when you use this you become paralyzed for the duration unable to do anything until such a time you use the command again.

I'll give you an even easier fix.

Just examine any object before you alt tab. You can not use any hotbar slot while you have the examine window open. Very easy solution requiring zero DM effort.

I did not even know this problem existed because I play in windowed mode.

I only have the problem in windowed mode.

I'll just bin the script that ninelives had already worked 11 hours on on so he can get back to the Vrazdn loot tables.

Another satisfied customer, thanks Vlaid!

Im sorry your time was wasted ninelives, I know your working hard for all of our sakes.

Hardest working DM by far in EFUR, god bless.
