Setting up a GINA trigger is solid advice and without Gina it’s stil the easiest and fastest way to conclude if FD worked.

DSM. You goofed. P99 is a cool game, always something for everyone to learn.
Oh I agree GINA triggers are a good idea. I never said you shouldn't.

You set up GINA on the /con based on if it is threatening/scowling or not. The "fallen to the ground" message factually does not appear in all FD fail cases, and is thus unreliable. You can be redundant and set up GINA for both messages if you want, but /con is always going to be more reliable. You can't assume the "fallen to the ground" message is going to appear on a failed FD.

It's honestly bad advise to tell people not to /con mobs to check if FD failed or not.
