The plants don't seem to move when they kill me. I'm spinning in death next to them and they stay immobile. I've seen this happen for a brained plant, but I've not tried over a normal plant yet.

It's not a bug, it's how the scripted monsters work. Afaik there is no command "Stand on player and kill him", so the player is killed by 'kill' command.

Scripted monsters could have Imperative Deadly, move on top of the player and kill him that way.

I scripted the carnivorous flowers myself so I have no doubt the scripting could be improved a lot.

Good point! Didn't think of that.
Althougth the possible issue is it might make it impossible for them to eat stuff in walls or over pits.

If there's a benign change we can make here that will make things look better, I'm willing to consider applying it to the TSS hold.

<Skell bumping attention to this thread.>

I'm unclear what suggestion is being made to change the TSS hold. Would someone restate?

Going to mark this "not a bug", but if a valiant soul wants to make an improvement here, we could consider including it alongside any additional TSS hold improvements.
