Pitbull (and possibly Viper) scripting messed up

[Mav]

This is a bug I've noticed for at least a year now. I reported it to TFC ingame but never saw a fix.

Pitbulls, when built and completed in range of enemy, will fire only 2 shots, then retract, then pop out again and continue firing as normal. This only happens when they are completed while enemy is in range.

I've lost a couple pitbulls this way during close calls. It should be a relatively easy fix.

Confirmed for Viper as well.

I've seen this too.

I submitted this ages ago and the problem still exists, at least in current build.

I submitted the same bug report to ZK this morning, and it was literally fixed in 18 minutes.

Mav asked me to mention the recent ZK fix, so here it is.

tl;dr: just use a signal to kill the close animation when it wants to aim; nothing that Beherith or TFC can't easily figure out

This bug has been fixed in PA and the script has been refined I can pass you a copy if you'd like.

I'm also looking forward to a fix. Bug has been in there for ages.
