There is probably no way that this is really supported. Multi part object
support really needs to be done/reworked
I am actually surprised the server didn't crash in your tests. As a note,
it would be neat to chop of limbs of trolls, and the limbs still attack
you (as per D&D)
I can look into fixing the server side of things so that pits and other stuff
does work for multi part monsters. However, a question for people out there:
How should multi part monsters deal with pits and other such things? Should
all that count is that the head by on the square of that type (pit, teleporter,
whatever), or should all parts?
The former is easier to code, but not sure if it is really the right thing
to do.
