Animals still attack while fleeing

[stickman]

hi jorb... in your announcement awhile back you said you fixed this "[*] Animals should no longer attack while fleeing. Cape awarded to jorb."

however I was just doing some testing on my noobie and a fleeing boar did a high damage attack on me(the yellow one maybe?).

situation:
1. attacked boar from on top of cliff where it could not reach me.
2. gained 20 coins...
3. shot the boar with an arrow... it started running.
4. proceeded to use Kick on the boar about 3 times (it had non-yellow defense up (blue green I think).. but not the parry tusk attack thing!)

boar then hit me for 167 damage and continued to flee.

one thing of note is that the attack from the boar my have coincided with the defense he had expiring. if that helps you.

Yeah I remember back in the early days i got roflstomped by that weird attack quite often. And in my case before there wasn't even a defense up at the time. Could be a case of attacks queue-ing up and triggering once something is in range. Nowadays I can be side by side with a bear and chop triggers without facing the bear, perhaps you just got in range of its attack and it doesn't unqueue once it's triggered once.

I think you may of hit the boars tusk thromp. Its a defence move which like parry hits the attacker back. Always allow tusk thromp to expire before proceeding with a attack. This defence covers green and yellow if my memory serves me well although I might be wrong.

Had a note of this since before, but no reference thread, so I'll use yours. Thanks. Will look at it at some opportune moment.
