I was just wondering a little thing: Why do NPC’s head’s randomly explode? It has happened to me 3 times as of yet (one of them being an ally,) not annoyed with it as such, I just want to know why, because they are literally just sitting on the floor trying to use chocolate pancakes as a weapon (although they aren’t fighting anyone nearby) and BAM! It suddenly says:
'[NPCName]‘s brain explodes!’
WHY?! I know NPC’s are buggy but am I missing something here? I’m not accidently blowing them up with my pipe shotty, I know that for a fact.
Due to their buggy nature, NPCs usually crash/corrupt the game. To stop this from happening, the game kills the NPC so it doesn’t crash/corrupt the game.
It was originally added to prevent the NPC from getting stuck in an infinite loop and possibly locking the game up. Sadly it also has a tendency to trigger if the NPC is attacking with a really fast weapon.
