Title: Rocket Jump
Post by: Tesmador on February 02, 2010, 08:24

Play version 0.999-win on windows XP.

I try to do a rocket jump back from a wall.

Code: [Select]

like this          #################                    (it's in the Lava Pits)
                   =========@==========
                    ==================
                     ===============

I was next to the wall and fire the Alt.Fire Rocketjump at the wall.
  #########X#######
  =========@==========
   ==================
     ===============
For that I don't get the knockback and hold my position. (I tryed several times)

Actually it's not a bug at all. Explosions happen in the first square *before* the wall -- hence the explosion happens at top of the character. If you'd move away one square from the wall, it'd work.

Unfortunately there's no easy way to fix it, because explosions can't happen on the wall, because we'd have situations like:

.***.
..*..
##*##
..*..
.***.

On a related note, shouldn't the Missle Launcher have Rocket Jump as its alternate fire? Or is that something strictly limited to normal rocket launchers? I figured it was just an oversight.

The Rocket Jump Along The Walls thing needs to be documented somewhere other than the forums... TO THE WIKI!
