Probs with vehicles


(Sick Boy) #1

There are problems with vehicles passing the barriers and the tank passing the bridge, I’ve seen the tank go through thin air across the bridge, and now in goldrush through a tankbarrier.

This happens when construction is finished at the moment tank decides to move forth. Bugfix plz? :chef:

I didn’t think this could happen since planted dynomite prevents the tank from moving forward. What happened is that the tank got “stuck” on something (treads were moving and engine sound played but the tank didn’t move) and once it freed itself the dyno had already been planted and blown the bridge. Its a pretty freak occurance, and I think its more funny than annoying. =)

I also saw another bug : Ive seen the tank being unreapairable but still not moving forward,
It happens if the tank has like 0 or 1 hitpoint left, The engeneer gets no repair sign until someone damages the tank a little further, but wont move in the precence of a player :frowning:

It doesnt happen too often but ive seen it happen when the brigde has just been reinforced but the tank wont move ! :banghead: when we finaly get to repair the tank, the bridge will have been destroyed by the Axis LOL

Yes I’ve seen this already 10 times or so too, so this is a more frequent bug.

This has to do with the pathing system of the tank. Think of it this way: the tank has a series of waypoints it travels through to get where it needs to go. Only when the tank reaches a waypoint does it determine if its “broken.” This is why the tank can run out of HP while crossing the bridge but still make it to the other side before breaking down. The damage occurs before the tank has time to reevaluate if its broken or not. This is done so that the tank doesn’t break down on the bridge, and cause all sorts of problems if the axis manage to blow the bridge a broken tank is sitting on.

Anyway, if the tank runs out of HP between waypoints and an engie tries to fix it before it “breaks,” something goes awry and the tank gets confused. So it just sits there with no HP and not breaking so anyone can fix it. Eventually it figures out what’s going on and finally breaks down. To avoid this in the future, never try to use the pliers on the tank until after you get notified that it has broken down.
