Title: Inconsistent shooting around corners
Post by: RogerN on January 21, 2010, 12:25: Forgive me if this has been asked before, but I wasn't able to find an answer. Consider the following scenario:

Code: [Select]
..# ..h ..# .@#
The game always lets me target the 'h' in this scenario, but sometimes I can't actually hit him. Meanwhile, 'h' has no problems shooting back at me! What determines whether I can actually damage a target in this position?

How much donations and bounty would it take to make that 1-2 months? :)
I ask in curiosity, as I imagine I couldn't get enough for it without going to the bank, maybe getting a loan... funding research on a time machine may be the only answer!
