Title: [0.9.9.7] Wrong "You dodge" message
Post by: Hamster on March 24, 2013, 16:11

Unfortunately did not take a screenshot. Smth like this:

Code: [Select]

..@..Where 0 is napalm barrel.
An arachnotron shoots at me, but hits a barrel. So the Doomguy can simply stand still and doesn't have to do anything, even to dodge. But instead we have a message "You dodge. Boom!".

Arachnotrons fire multiple shots.  One shot could easily detonate the barrel while another shot fails to hit you.

The boom in this case is just the shot hitting the barrel (or any wall).  Arachnotrons can't destroy napalm barrels.

Anyway, confirmed.  Sometimes shots can trigger the "You dodge." message, even if you aren't moving, if they hit something in the way.

I seem to recall this subject coming up before.  As I recall, any time a shot doesn't hit you, it says, "you dodge," regardless of the reason it didn't hit you.
