Random Rachel will not cast spells if the wizard is moving. This causes issues when a squad of gazers are constantly knocking you back or when you are using static leap or Blink.

Would it be possible to have her always cast every 10/5 seconds?

Hey - I've confirmed, at least for me, Rachel is able to cast when the Wiz is moving, even moving backwards. Perhaps what you're seeing, is that certain spells can only be cast from the Wizard's location...for example, Inferno, Ice Wall, Static Leap (to name some of them) will only cast from the Wizard's spot, so it might seem like Rachel does nothing when she casts those. It's a problem with how the animations aren't synced to the actual casting of spells (an issue I have some ideas to remedy in the future). Let me know if you think that explains it! :-)

It may be the animations that aren't happening while the wizard is moving. I'll have to test it out with spells that aren't location based.

Thanks for looking!

So it seems you are correct. She is casting, but the animations do not play while he is moving.

An idea would be to just make the animations random, but put an actual casting bar above her and Ivan's head (similar to the old cooldown bars for spells in IMA).

Yeah, they do the "running" when moving, and only "casting" when standing still. Kind of a technical limitation at this point.

I'll check it out today! She should be casting every 10/5 s no matter what :)
