5 years ago Thanks! excellent report. This is definitely something we need to fix. It gets interesting as by disabling upper floors we stop the engine having to process them for each frame. I'll need to make sure the colliders are enabled for all the places where there are creatures, but in some way that doesnt put too much load on the physics engine.
I'll go have a ponder on this. Thanks again
Describe the bug A character can see a creature over the walls of a base if the top walls aren't loaded in and they know the landscape outside it
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Screenshots/Videos/Twitch Clips From outside in GM mode
Inside on the first floor
As you can see the player cannot see the merchant (empty box)
They can now instantly see the merchant even though they are only on the first stair (this occurs all the way up the stairs)
Upon engaging the 2nd floor the merchant can no longer be seen
Additional context This only seems to affect player creatures who already know the landscape outside looks like. As shown below with a newly created creature (blacksmith) under the player's control the character sees nothing as expected, not the landscape and not the merchant.
But then the moment the blacksmith goes through the main inn door to see the outside landscape and thus adding it to seen places. The glitch happens again on the staircase
