Duplicate report: Bug report 142 - Ratman in the introduction doesn't do backflip when teleporting out

"Ratman in the introduction doesn't do backflip when teleporting out instead, he does some kind of casting(?) gesture"

Turns out this bug is even present in the demo, so older than AF 1.21.

The backflip animation is interrupted because ratman_base_0016 takes damage from a lightning strike spell cast by intro_draw_0001.

Eventually we want to add support for casting only the vfx part of any spell (there is already a fake variant of the summon spell) and then patch the script to use that. Not sure how we should proceed until then.

Note: The backflip can be fixed by adding this to the ratman_base_0016/ratman_base.asl: 
  1. on ouch { refuse }

However, this still laves a random chance if the lightning hits the ratman, which significantly changes the visual effects - that should be fixed too.
