For me this problem is actually worst when the enemy is literally bordering me, which leads me to wonder whether I’m experiencing a mildly different problem. I tend to use either fists or the staff as much as possible as well.
Your best bet at documenting your issue, if needed, may actually be to save a .filA of a case where an enemy disappears for you, then export it using alt-Replay Saved Film, then upload that to YouTube or somewhere. (Alternately you just can do alt-Replay Last Film, I believe.) That way you also don’t have to worry about capturing sound (though it’s not really relevant for this issue, I suppose).
The only caveat with this rendering method is you may want to go into your preferences file (
locations vary depending upon OS) and replace:
- Code: Select all
movie_export_video_quality="50"
with something higher. Since I usually delete my videos after uploading them, I usually just use:
- Code: Select all
movie_export_video_quality="100"
But that does result in massive files. Also, be sure your text editor doesn’t inadvertently change the straight quotes to curly quotes, or A1 may decide to overwrite your preferences file with the defaults. (Some text editors, including Apple’s, may do this even if you don’t replace the quotes.) It may be worth backing up your preferences before doing this just to be sure.
(You may also want to edit movie_export_audio_quality while you’re at it; since that has very little effect on file size, I definitely recommend changing that to 100.)

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain. If you can’t lick ’em, join ’em. If it hurts, repeat it. But to praise despair is to condemn delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. We have almost lost hold; we can no longer describe happy man, nor make any celebration of joy.” —Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”
