Bug - Not A Bug Won't use Toss on autoattack if I have zero MP as a TT

[Nikadaemus]

I could not find anything obvious or even mildly obscure, but I hope this isn't a repeat post. I have Toss set as my autoattack, and I am a Turtle Tamer. I know you can use this skill as another class with a cot of 1 MP, but it is free as a TT. I am not sure how I should classify this. It may not be a bug, so I am asking for a feature. Can Mafia please allow Toss as an autoattack if I have zero MP and am the appropriate class for the skill? TIA

What are you calling "autoattack"? Is your action in the Adventure panel set to Toss?

What do you get when you type this in the gCLI:

ash mp_cost( $skill[ toss ] )

I get zero (0) returned. As for autoattack, I mean the setting under Options/Combat in the KoL interface. Is there another autoattack location? Either way, it stops like the fight was a boss, instead of using the skill. Please let me know if you need any more clarification.

I experimented a bit on a pastamancer multi:

> ash mp_cost( $skill[ spaghetti spear ] )

Returned: 0

> get battleAction

skill spaghetti spear

> /aa disabled

Setting auto-attack to disabled.

> ash my_mp()

Returned: 0

> adventure 1 spooky forest

So no problem here.

However, when I tried setting spaghetti spear as my KoL autoattack:

> /aa spaghetti spear

Setting auto-attack to Spaghetti Spear.

Doing the same thing in the relay browser confirmed that KoL just ignores your autoattack if you don't have enough MP to cast it, and that bit of code doesn't seem to be aware that your class starting skill costs 0 MP.

I'll mark this as Not A Bug. I guess you can go ahead and file a KoL bug report.
