Corner shooting oddities

(1/4) > >>

grommile:
I have noticed (while trying to complete Phobos Base Entry on HMP AoMC) a Really Unpleasant Thing about cornershooting: It appears that transparent walls are ignored by the line-of-fire selector, so you can't use trees as shelters to cornershoot from.

MaiZure:
Well since cornershooting is actually a bug - I would call this the first steps of a corrective action

:P

Eep - it is? Try and imagine the game without it...

There are at least two medals whose very existence implies cornershooting has been declared a feature.

Cornershooting was a bug.  It's no longer considered that since so much of DoomRL's gameplay is based on it.

That said, there ARE oddities with the LOS algorithm.  Attempts to fix them have been made but not always successfully.
