<special guest eva problems> [alpha] geomagnetic discs are now arcing into neutral/friendly units as collateral targets, even when those units are out of line of sight

Player in Humanoids faction, fixed in 202.79

Have been noticing this issue in my current run on 202.81. Particularly noticeable in Bethesda Susa. Drowsing Urchins, for example, are neutral/friendly to me (show up as Green on ALT overlay and do not emit sleep gas when I walk by), however when I throw the disc at other enemies nearby, it arcs to the urchins and then makes them hostile to me. The same happened with a Rimewyk and the Alchemist - both of which were neutral/friendly to me but still got hit by the disc.

Possibly this is intended behavior - I’m not sure, but thought I’d mention it.

Taking another look.

Wasn't able to repro but changed up the non-standard hostility check.
Throw a save at me if you're still running into it after 202.82.

Attached a save in #5075. Still occurring post-update to 202.82.

This entire playthrough was started on 202.79 if that matters

[Armithaig]

Oh! Thought we’d borked saves since then so didn’t think to ask. Sure it was started 202.79 and not 202.78 though?

Your PC is a member of the Humanoids faction which was fixed in 202.79 (and the primary cause of this issue, see comment on 21-09-03 above)

Can wish for clearfactionmembership and 'at should get you going.

Aha! Thanks very much for taking the time to look into this one, Armithaig, and sorry if I caused any undue confusion. It’s definitely possible I could've started on 202.78 (it’s been at least two weeks and I don’t remember for certain). I’ll use that wish to straighten things out for this play through!
