Weapons Error Maybe

Post by remeer »

I was in a game with four people... only the two people made it in though so ill get right to the point.

When we started attacking each other for some strange reason my units would not attack. It was like they were out of ammo or something, I couldnt select anything ether after a few of my things were destroyed.

If anyone knows anything about this post something, or if you want more info ill do what i can.

if you mean unints stop taking new orders then this seems to happen if you build too big batches of buildings (like CTRL-SHIFT/ALT groups of like 20)... personal experience here only though

something similar. was it same game remeer?

it was 2v2, but all screwed up. everyone could see everyone elses units (but not on minimap), one player was allied to everyone, but not them back. I was intermittently able to tell units to attack enemies, but not all the time (the units still automatically attacked when in range anyway), some people couldnt attack at all. it all went micheal-jacksons-face.

Were you one of the guys in that game when it happened cabbs? As i recall there were four people but i can't exactly remember who was there.. im still wondering wtf went wrong.

But it was slighty different in my case, absolutely nothing at all would shoot or fire, not even my gaat guns. The only thing that did go off was my commander.

Sounds like you weren´t sync´d properly, and different people had different Allies settings in their script.txt .
Happened to me once too :) . I could attack one of my "allies" but he couldn´t attack me :D .

It might have been me. The map was small divide, and i killed someone with a goliath.

One of the games you were talking about was against me. I remember your goliath was on the slight incline that is in the lower middle of core prime, and it did not fire... I told you to save the replay ;)

I was in that game you were talking about remeer and cabbs. I was on your team. I think what happened was that the other team had no worries, but our team was allied to all other teams so we were just sitting ducks. I can't remember how exactly the team numbers were made up the client window, but i think it was like:

player team
remeer: 0 0
Spaniard: 2 0
Cabbs: 4 1
someone: 3 1

We spent ages making sure everyone was synced and that teams were right, but i suspect what SeanHeron said is true.
