ghost Anah. :0 - by tripwood

that's the weirdest DX bug i've ever seen. i tried taking a few screenshots, but they don't seem to work during conversations.
i was in the lebedev's plane, and since i knew Anah would come rushing in as soon as i talked to him, i placed a LAM on the wall, where she's supposed to come in.
when she does, she starts her dialogue, and the LAM explodes behind her, blowing her away in the middle of it. just that was pretty damn hilarious. i continued talking to lebedev, and suddenly i heard anah's voice, and all i could see were some floating ghostly lips, and her body was made of thin sparkles of light. (kinda like the grav shafts in Ss2) :eek: and also, when i got to the dialogue part about the secret Lebedev is about to tell, the conversation ended, and Lebedev just stayed there, impossible to talk to, since there was no reaction. maybe the ghost shocked him? who knows.
anyone else seen that?

when i shot the "ghost" though, she got back to her corporal self and exploded on the floor.
EDIT: the more i look at the picture, the more i realise it looks like a skeleton. :erm:

Your screenshot isn't working for me, sir.

That looks like the cloak augmentation. I have heard others mention it before but I never tried it myself.

Thats definetly a cloak aug. thats what happened to me a few times. If you use a lam, she doesn't recognize that its you but she automatically cloaks when attacked. I assume that you damaged her arms or something so she couldn't use her weapons to kill lebedev. Then the trigger has been set, and anna is SUPPOSED to kill him but she can't, BUT she is still alive and has just been attacked so is cloaked. To avoid this "bug" use two lams....

...or position yourself in such a place that Anna will stop right next to the LAM upon the start of the conversation. Then it's possible - I've done it - to finish her off with just one explosion.

I've seen the same thing with Walton Simons. Whenever I pass through the excavation area of the sub base on the way to pick up the UC blueprints, I usually leave a LAM on the right front wheel of the large drill. When I return, Simons appears and sets off the LAM. If he isn't completely annihilated, he assumes a ghostly form and runs around randomly.
Marecki on 11/7/2002 at 10:53
Yes, they both do that. The difference is Simons turns his cloak only when heavily wounded (one more rifle bullet to the head and he goes down) whereas Anna often uses hers to attack as well.
