Touch Light behaves erratically #9

Closed esotericist closed 8 years ago

esotericist commented 8 years ago

Forge 2094, AM2 2.0.6, jei_1.10.2-3.9.0.246 present. Testing performed in SSP.

This one is harder to reproduce, I've had mixed results in testing worlds.

Sometimes touch light will burn mana, but simply fail to produce a light source in conditions where projectile light would succeed. I haven't been able to find any particular pattern other than it seems to be 'streaky', where it will not work for a while, then if it is working, you might get a few casts in a row where it does successfully place lights.

Projectile light works fine, and the other touch spells I tested (dig, fire damage) worked fine.

Basically it seams like light is buggy

Projectile light works pretty much fine, though, is the weird thing

esotericist commented 8 years ago

Okay, more info. While chasing down another problem, I tried 'projectile aoe light', and it works basically exactly as reliably as touch light. Which is to say, not.

More to the point, though, I think there might be a deeper problem than light specifically, because 'projectile AOE dig' behaves REALLY weird, while 'touch AOE dig' does not.

Seems like there's something odd going on with targeting in general?

AoE targeting is weird, basically it depends on the face hit...

esotericist commented 8 years ago

Well, when I used Touch AoE Dig, it behaved as expected; face touched determined AOE orientation, centered on the block touched. That's fine.

When I used Projectile AoE Dig, it only sometimes managed to dig at all, and when it did, it was not centered on the block hit, but generally Y+1. The off-by-one is probably easy to fix, but the fact it sometimes wouldn't fire is more concerning.
