Help: Combat List The combat list is the active list of characters currently being serviced by the combat loop. When a fight starts, the attacker is added to the list and both sides are marked as in combat. A character is not supposed to be added twice, and combat cleanup removes dead, invalid, separated, or targetless actors. What Can Remove You You can leave the active combat list when your target is gone, dead, in a different room, no longer valid, or when your own combat state is cleaned up. Some safety code also clears everyone who was still targeting a bad or dead character. Why It Matters This keeps old fights from fluttering forever. It also means fleeing, rescuing, killing a target, or moving combatants around can change who actually gets attacked by the next round. See Also: combat, combatfix
