Behemoth will auto shoot through owned structures, killing them #1091

Place behemoth. Place stinger in front of it. When behemoth fires at enemy units it will kill stringer in the process.

Cannot reproduce.

Reproduced: http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/395841 Seems like Behemot ignores friendly structures after firing a salvo.

GoogleFrog commented 8 years ago

This only fails when firing clockwise of the HLT. The weapon check is on the right barrel so an improvement could be made by moving it to the middle. This is probably unfixable though.

GoogleFrog commented 8 years ago

I think we would need to do Defender burst to fix this.

This ticket is about Behemoth friendly fire.

sprunk commented 8 years ago

The underlying issue is the same as with Felon (engine doesn't check line of fire properly).

GoogleFrog commented 8 years ago

This still occurs with 101.0+dev. This shows that the issues were not duplicates. The issue here is:

The weapon can't know where the entire burst is going to be fired from.
Bursts are never interrupted. I don't want to interrupt bursts. Perhaps we just live with this issue.

GoogleFrog commented 7 years ago

This should now be fixable by checking which projectiles of the burst have a free line of fire just prior to firing: https://springrts.com/mantis/view.php?id=5056
