Spring 91 BA 7.71 - Negative Experience

[LEDZ]

Witnessed Manticores gaining negative experience.
They then have 0/0 health.
Any clues as to what has happened?

You pressed "L".

I have no clue, if you find a way to reproduce it, please post to mantis.

Look at [BORG]LEDZ's Manticores at around 25 mins.

Here is that bug too http://replays.springrts.com/replay/9d4 ... 079b8f899/
As you can see, LLT get -1 exp and lot of HP. It even cant be dguned!

[knorke]

stupid guess:
since it is aa units/units that can shot air:
maybe it happens when units hit a crashing plane? iirc BA recently made gunships do the spiralcrash thing and while spiraling they have 0 hp = messes up xp?
Might be something to look out for when watching the replay.

When planes died before, they had "50%" health while crashing. Now they don't have that. Perhaps any missiles launched at planes that are then in this weird state gain negative experience.

I've now tested this hypothesis with a widget available here:

It is when damage is done against an already dead plane, one that is crashing to the ground.

Thanks LEDZ, this should solve it:

Code: Select all

function gadget:UnitPreDamaged(unitID, unitDefID, unitTeam, damage, paralyzer, weaponDefID, attackerID, attackerDefID, attackerTeam)
	if crashing[unitID] then return false
	return true
end
