I am on UT 4 and wearing a ring of infravision. I am getting attacked by an invisible monster but cant figure out what it is. the ring should show me invisible monsters correct? I dont think its the special golem, I shouldnt be bad enough for it to spawn yet.

Booooooooooo!

That golem is a guaranteed spawn on UT4. Doesn't matter how strong you are, otherwise there'd be nothing to stop players from just looting the place of rocks.

I am talking about the named golem, and I have never seen that it is guaranteed to spawn on ut4.

Infravision shows you warm-blooded creatures, so if it's invisible and cold-blooded or has no blood then you still wouldn't see it. I believe the invisible stalker is such a creature so that is another possibility.

I know which golem you are talking about, and it is. As Cap said, it is not warm-blooded, and it's not intelligent, so you cannot see it through any normal means.

Actually, there is no guaranteed spawn on UT4. Having said that, UT4 has a higher spawn rate than anywhere else, so if you're strong enough, it could very well have spawned there.

Odd. I swear it has been down there every time I visited, but I usually don't bother. It's a little hard to tell when it's undetectable anyway.

I dont think its the golem. I don't think I am strong enough for it to spawn. Its moot for now though - i am polyd into a spider from drinking from a fountain. I got poly-itis and was excited because i had a ring of poly control. But then i checked my inventory and i don't have a ring of poly control.

Booooooooooo!

Invisible stalkers have body made of magical air, so yes, most likely they can only be detected with ESP.

I bet it was an invisible stalker then. I've definitely seen the spider silk golem in gloomy caves.

I SWEAR there was some kind of pre-defined script somewhere that made our invisible golem friend appear in UT4.
Maybe it was in a specific variant, or a line somewhere in the source code?

EDIT: On closer inspection it might have something to do with the fact that UT4 has a base difficulty of 100. For comparison, Oree's Lair has a base difficulty of 90.
In addition it has a difficultyDelta of 0, meaning that UT4's difficulty is always 100. Or, it should. I can't find where either of those entries are referenced elsewhere in the source.

System would indicate in graphic if person is mounted on horse or not.
Same system also show if person mounted on boar, elephant, polar bear etc.
Or if person mounted on ass.
Ivan find mounting on ass funny.
