[Fixed] Monsters and BlockEverything lines

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Sun Nov 16, 2003 5:51 pm

Maybe I'm just stupid but I absolutely can't find the code that handles this:

- Changed missile attacks so that monsters behind block everything lines will
try to shoot through the lines if they are set for impact activation and
run a script. The assumption is that the script will remove the blocking
flag so they can shoot past the line on their next attack.

The code passes 4 as flags value to P_CheckSight but to me it seems that it is never evaluated.

A result of changing between the different algorithms?

It certainly seems to be the case that the marines in my "Marine Assault" are still reluctant to shoot out windows in 2.0.53.

Don't suppose it would be because the lines are type 121 at the time of level start up, and then given a special to run a script when the level starts?

Or maybe because I used the block all flag rather than setting it in a script?

Whatever, I've only seen an enemy shoot a window as a result of their weapon spread hitting the line when they were aiming at me. I have not yet seen them attempt to fire through a window.

This should be moved in the 'Fixed Bugs' forum now.

Well, my marines certainly seem happy to shoot windows in 58 and 59. Don't see anything in RH-LOG.TXT that struck me as relating to this, but I'm happy.

That'll be it then.
