| Summary | 0000860: SVN: Colliding projectiles explode in front of target | ||||
| Description | In SVN (rev 5558) a projectile that impacts a unit will explode outside the target's collision volume because it checks ahead to see if it would move into the volume and if so explodes at its current position, not on the surface of the volume. For low AOE weapons this can mean that a hit won't damage the target. | ||||

I'm aware of the problem, but there is no easy fix (moving a projectile to its true impact position won't always work for exotically shaped volumes and presents other issues). Fast but low-AOE projectiles are a general PITA to deal with. |

This should be less of a concern in R6248+, but the disclaimer from my previous comment still very much applies (if a projectile collides with a volume far from its center, ex. a long thin cylinder hit at either of its endcaps, the damage calcs will be off just as badly since they assume a spherical model). YMMV though. |
