Anyone have Moomba's Trainer?

"Furthermore, the game considers the character to be in a state of death for a small period of time before his/her hit points are "refunded" by the Mana Shield. During this period of death (fraction of a second) the character is actually rendered immune to attacks, and cannot be knocked backward as well."

- this is actually what you meant with god mode, isn't it? So god mode is another expression for mana shield bug.


Some people actually do refer to the bug listed above as a form of god mode.  That is, in my opinion, an absurd characterization.  But let's leave it at that, because I really, really don't want this to turn into a thread about that bug. 

I might remember wrong, but from a more technical point of view, it is not exactly what is happening. Basically the code that do attacks and deal damage has some lines that look something like:



if (hp<=0)
dodeath()
else
doother()

The check could be for hp below 1, don't remember. Anyway the dodeath() function will first check if you have Mana Shieled and if it is enough to keep you alive and if so, exit (skiping the doother(). The doother() function do stuff like knockback, put you into hit recovery and other things which is thus skiped. I don't think you end up immune to other attacks though but can recall wrong if there is further problems like the death flag (or if it is further life checks that doesn't trigger more attacks until you life is positive, it is still another effect from the knockback and such though) not being handled correctly.

Just wanted to point out this small tech nit. :)
