Title: [0.9.9.6G Windows] Shambler's missed projectile shoots through a wall
Post by: Klear on March 11, 2012, 04:47

I obviously didn't manage to take a screenshot during the split second it was happening, but I was standing in the same place as on the screenshot. The Shambler shot at me, but he missed me and... well, somehow missed the wall behind me and the projectile could be seen leaving the map in that direction.

It's nothing gamebreakng, obviously, but I thought it was interesting.

Same also happened with me while fighting some random baron. I've been on 2% hp as usual, so that pretty much saved my ass.

The cyberdemon also does this with the wall you're hiding behind.

Now when I come to think about it ...I think I noticed this as well.

The bug may be working like this:
- when projectile is going to hit the player, it will hit the wall on its way;
- when projectile is going to miss the player, it will bypass any wall (except for level edges);

I remember something similar and bizarre happening to me in a recent game:

Approximate location. I shot a plasma rifle at the imp or whatever it was, killed it, and...

Wait, what? My plasma chewed through a box behind a box?

I didn't think to take a screenshot, but it wasn't like I was going to take a 'before' of an imp or whatever it was standing by some crates.
