Units be Bouncing

[MrCucumber]

I could only check it was BA so far but it seems to me that units run into buildings and then bounce off. Its pretty funny actually. I witnessed this on CCR in the latest BA and latest Spring.

Believe it or not, while it's a bit excessive atm, it's kinda helpful wrt pathing through difficult areas.

Units with low turnrates can have issues moving through a thin gap between two buildings as they bounce off each in turn in their attempt to enter.

Hs newest BA turned on the QTPFS pathing thingy or is this unavoidably happening in every game?
Cannot test newest release myself atm.

Has someone actually made a pinball-map in spring?

I'm quite annoyed that sometimes KP units get ejected from factories with such force they fly over half the map before landing.

Oh good, there's a bugtracker and the bug was already reported!

(2865) --> this was intended, queue next community shitstorm
Status : resolved
Resolution : won't fix



Sometimes I find it hard to believe this is just a miscommunication between engine devs and modders/players.

Bouncing off is a little bit different bug to rapid ejection, see the advice here:

I think abma misunderstood Kloot's commit message and the issue was actually fixed.

It's very excessive. Is there any effort made to fix this bug?

[PicassoCT]

You know i find this kind of inspiring... has anyone ever made a bubblebooble cannon, that allows for chainreactions, if loaded with the right ammonition?

I don't mind the bouncing, I mind when a unit gets *stuck* bouncing even if it could obviously avoid the obstruction.

[smoth]

Known bug, no worries.

[PicassoCT]

Its our fault, we never made that pinball mod. And now we have to.

I was playing BA the other day and had a construction vehicle hit a mine in the middle of a map with a width of 18. The unit flew through the air then bounced across the map, landing intact, with over half of it's hit points remaining... in my opponents base. Where it promptly died in a nanosecond.

I mean it was absurdly funny, but sort of not the way you actually want to loose units!

Similar thing happened to my com during a game on duck while building solars.

I hope everyone here lurks mantis and tests good looking engine builds. Otherwise extra complaints when we haven't even had another engine release are a waste of time.

[Forboding Angel]

What I don't get entirely is why evo hasn't had issues with this? I mean yeah, units bounce off of structures and once in a great while will manage to get stuck for a little bit. But nothing like this launching bit O_o

[knorke]

since it is a bit random it is more likely to be noticed in ba/zk since those are played the most.

I have a feeling though that some of these bugs don'e seem to affect evo as much because of the way I've handled a lot of the buildings which in some/many ways is fundamentally different from ba/zk.

That...

Or I'm just blind.
