Common Infected falling on a Survivor's head can sometimes instantly kill them #249

You added the 'confirmed' label, but provided no screenshots, videos, demos or even words.

I just saw it happen on an EU server running EQ3.0a. Guess you'll just have to take my word for it.

Attano commented 8 years ago

Was the survivor rocketed into the air when it happened? Or did he just die in place?

MattNF commented 8 years ago

Died in place.

Common hopping super high is another bug.

MattNF commented 8 years ago

IIRC, another case this can happen is if a spitter spits on you from above. I have a vid of this, I'll try to find it.

jbzdarkid commented 8 years ago

Similarly, spit boosts are a thing.

Here's the video of spit kill from above:

And here's a video of a hilarious spit boost:

The bug should probably not have the "confirmed" label until it can be reproduced using the suggested method (i.e. prove that the common landing on the survivor was really, truly, 100% the cause of the death, and not just something that happened at about the same time)

Also spit boost, as well as throwable boost should maybe have their own issues

I am 100% certain it's a common landing on their head. I have seen it many many times over the years. It's when you jump into the air, and something from above hits you, sending you down at a very fast velocity. The fall damage calculation determines that you're moving fast enough to die, and you do.

Spit boost and spit death are the result of the same thing: the spit projectile is a solid physics object.

Sounds accurate. I remember fixing survivors dying on Warcelona map 1 right after they'd ready up. That death looked similar and was flagged as "fall damage". I imagine the flag is the same here.
