Inferno not applying blind effect.

[Anonymous]

Inferno sends the echo of being blinded to the player, but does not actually blind them.

With regard to the spell "inferno", check out the log below:

  We're getting the echo for getting blinded, but the blind affect isn't

  being applied to the char.

Couldn't replicate this, and from a glance the code seems to be alright.

This is what it looked like on my test mortal:

 Within a Chasm  [CHAOTIC PK ROOM]                 -     N     -
(-----------------------------------------------)  W<---(A)--->E
                                                   -     S     -
+----------+ This
+   O-O-O  + huge chasm is the dwelling-place of the master of vampires.
+   | | |  +   Paintings done in parchment and blood line the walls,
+   O-@-O  + and the floor is a  dark red zigzag pattern that resembles
+     |    + carpet.  Body parts, bones, and bits  of flesh are scattered
+     O    + around this pit suggesting that the overlord of  vampires
+----------+ isn't too friendly.
     (Glowing) A bright ball of light shimmers in the air.
     A towering ring of flames surrounds the area.
(Gold Aura) Syn the Implementor is here.

You can't see a thing!

The inferno-blindness affect is real brief (2h) so maybe by the time you checked your affects it had worn off?

As a minor fix though, I added an if-check to keep this code from applying the blind affect twice.
