"Teleporting Bullet" - aiming and LOS problem
« on: October 12, 2013, 13:41 »

In 0.9.9.7, there seems to be a sort of LOS issue with aiming and firing a weapon.

When Im firing around corners of pillars, sometimes there's a gap in the firing sight. I pushed a barrel into that "missing" square and fired repeatedly using a pistol, and it never seemed to hit the barrel.

Moving the barrel to the targeted square ensued a hasty explosion.

See here as well. Remember that cornershooting is actually a bug, so saying 'it doesn't work properly' actually makes no sense.

That being said, I think it should be fixed, if remotely possible.

Is there any documentation on how the LOS works?

Im very interested on how this works.
