Severe problem with ShadowMaster-like summons
I made a skill that allowed Barbarian to summon Talic with ShadowMaster AI. However the game didn't respond whenever I used the skill.
Further test showed that characters other than BB could use this skill properly.
I really have know idea. It seems that Blizzard prohibits BB from having a summon with ShadowMaster AI!
Thanks in advance.

Did you give his skills the correct ai params? Was he dual wielding at the time? By 'not respond' do you mean it freezes, or its doesn't attempt to cast the skill

Well it means that its either entering an infinite loop(bad skill setup and ai params), or its doing something that loops the ai(like dual wielding) change the ai and see if it changes anything

Ok, in some way I've figure it out.
In my mod, BB has three start passive skills, each of them gives 5 types of bonus, and I have made the original passive skills have more bonus stats.
As we know, the ShadowMaster will learn all of a character's passive skills automatically regardless you put 10 in aitype for these skills.
So I tried to eliminate some of the bonus stats randomly, then it works!
However, none of the bonus stats will cause infinite loops. Thus I still don't know why the ShadowMaster will freeze the game but my BB won't, as we have the same skills - -
Sorry for double replying, I will delete one later.

Re: Severe problem with ShadowMaster-like summons
Because there are a ton of hardcodes to the shadowmaster unit line# that make the shadowmaster work the way it does. Clones of it will not be complete copies.

Your either using incorrect skill params, giving too much life, or mismatched functions, this is why one uses clones as a base(that includes related monsters and missiles) and slowely alters them, else one does up with a crapstorm if you dunno what your doing...
