| Summary | 0004483: Spring.SetProjectileAlwaysVisible doesn't always make a projectile always visible | ||||||||
| Description | Grab MCL r1111 from SVN ( https://sourceforge.net/p/mwspring/code/1111/ ) or from rapid (mcl:test). Nuclear meltdown projectile is set to alwaysvisible when spawned but disappears when you lose LOS on the area. | ||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Any mech when destroyed with excess heat will spawn a nuclear meltdown CEG. I would recommend; 1. /give is_catapult_ctplt1 and have it attack ground outside of LRM minimum range 2. /give is_flea_fle17 1 next to the catapult and watch it flamer 3. catapult dies and screams "Nuuuuuuuuuke", spawns nuke 4. Nuke disappears along with catapult LOS 5. You can /spectator to see the full CEG | ||||||||
| Additional Information | Code used: local x,y,z = Spring.GetUnitPosition(unitID) local nukeID = Spring.SpawnProjectile(WeaponDefNames["meltdown"].id, {pos = {x,y,z}, owner = unitID, ttl = 5}) Spring.SetProjectileAlwaysVisible(nukeID, true) I also tried catching it with Script.SetWatchWeapon and ProjectileCreated, there was no difference in behaviour. | ||||||||

Ok, when i use the same CEG as the explosion generator for a weapon, it displays correctly outside of LOS, so I guess instead it is a flaw with / with how i'm using Spring.SpawnProjectile. If I'm being really dumb, please point out my error edit: Using it directly as a death explosion doesn't work either, so there must be some key difference between the way a death explosion works and a projectile explosion? Perhaps here: https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/develop/rts/Rendering/ProjectileDrawer.cpp#L439 I am already setting owner in params though without success - I guess the problem is because the owner dies when used as a death explosion or by the way I'm calling it, so that it does not become visible. Should L439 just check for alwaysVisible at that point?? edit2: confirmed that is the problem, have a lua workaround for MCL by setting an indestructible beacon as the owner. Tried adding pro->alwaysVisible check to L439 and that didn't work. |

Having futzed about a bit with the code, it does seem that projectile alwaysVisible isn't being set correctly, I can only get the CEG to render when it has a living ownerID |

Sigh, in fact, this is not fully resolved. Only groundflash really works properly, probably due to https://github.com/spring/spring/blob/develop/rts/Rendering/Env/Particles/ProjectileDrawer.cpp#L739 I'm still having to use my hack and that doesn't work unless you put a whacking big Sleep in, something to do with LOS coverage. |

Easier steps for reproducing: Using latest mcl:test 1. /cheat /give 9 garrison_fs 1, on your starting beacon 2. Order a mech (queue up, hit submit) 3. Watch the turrets kill the dropship 4. Dropship hits ground and goes boom. 5. Nuke cloud dissapears with unit, only groundflash remains visible |

seems that LoS wasn't the prohibiting factor this time but the number of particles. |
