Did you know that enemies with a pick-pocketable health potion can use it to restore health?
Or at lest this appeared to happen with a mechanist in T2's Kidnap. Was whittling him down with arrows when I heard the gulp sound of a potion being drunk.
Wondering now if this is a known thing, or whether I imagined it.
Happened to me once, long ago in some FM whose name escapes me. I just assumed it was a custom effect the author added in

I noticed recently when beta testing the if you kill an enemy on hard ground such as stone or marble the blood stain remains on the ground, but if you do so on a carpet the blood soaks into the carpet and disappears entirely. :sly:
Are you sure that is not an FM effect? In T2 the blood seems to stay there on grass and on the rugs in Masks.

@ Cigam
Not sure what the cause is. I noticed it when beta testing one of The Black Parade missions and brought it to the attention of Skacky. He hasn't set the the blood stains up that way, he didn't even know about this effect. Since then I have noticed this happens in a number of other missions but would not suggest it happens in all missions. I'm not a Dromer so can't say if there are various blood stain options available to authors but if there are that may explain the difference.

All blood stains for humans and Garrett (looking at T2 here, it's the DamnSpot archetype) will clean themself up after at most five minutes. But there's a script on them (DeathSentence) which has a chance to randomly reduce that lifespan when the bloodstain spawns; so some will last much less time. In the words of the script's author:
Quote:
Intended to cause blood stains to not pile up so much, while still leaving a reasonably high duration possible for those which do stick around.
Sadly it has nothing to do with the surface a blood stain is on.

Thanks vfig, that cleans up that effect, and I assume the OM's do not have the DamnSpot archetype which would explain why blood does not soak into surfaces in the OM's.

I think it's a matter of chance if the bloodstain removes itself.

I have played T1 & T2 countless times and STILL have not found all the loot.
Im saving this task for my retirement years, in a decade or two :thumb:
