[2.5.0] Imps piling in Doom II MAP01

[Janizdreg]

Opening the secret door in Doom II MAP01 with the three imps behind it causes the first of the three to bounce on top of the second.

To clarify, here's a screenshot:

The glitch only seems to occur when the player opens the door from a specific angle, or at least when the player is right next to the western linedef of the lift sector.

A savegame for reproducing the glitch is included as an attachment. Just load the save, open the door and the glitch should occur.

Even without looking at that code I can tell you it's in dire need of some changes. As soon as a sector moves in an area where monsters overlap - big trouble ensues.

However, due to a recent engine change this is no longer necessary.

Too bad that this code is cause for many headaches...

[Gez]

Same thing as that, right?

I'll close the GZDoom bug thread since it's a ZDoom bug.

It's not only 2.5.0, even 2.4.0 svn's had this problem. I have a ~5000 SVN, and it does this.

Every ZDoom version since 1.23 is probably doing this.

I'm just now noticing it in these very recent versions, though. o_O

Pretty much. I end up on Map01 more often than not while testing new weapons and such, and I see this a lot.

Never seen this, myself...

This is a feature. I even tried to make a "doom tetris" that relied on this feature, but it failed.

[Graf Zahl]

That's because it's not a feature. It's a side effect due to bad implementation of a feature.

[NeuralStunner]

I think Chop was making a joke.

fixed.

This was caused by 2 features interfering with each other.

Some time ago I implemented a logic that can get monsters unstuck. That logic allowed certain overlapping conditions to pass collision detection checks.

But the code that moves a sector plane was not aware of that and tried to mess around with overlapping actors' positions in a way the other feature did not like.

When moving a sector plane the unstuck logic must be activated, too, for monsters.
