radar bug

sort
SmokeDragon 8 years ago i believe terraform counts as a radar blip.. i inferno a bunch of unfinished enemy terra on replay that was all that was there.. but in-game it looked like 4-5 units in small area +0 / -0

mojjj 8 years ago As far as I recall, radar vision and obstacles is once calculated when radar is finished. If you terraformtrap the radar later, nothing changes to the initial view view. +0 / -0
Steel_Blue 8 years ago The comment is about terraform being building nano frames or something. I don't know the full details, but you can repair terraform, and OP was saying the teraform units pop up as radar blips. I personally believe that this is not a feature, and unfinished terraform should not show up on radar, or even be select-able. I have no programming knowledge so I can't approach this at all. +2 / -0
SmokeDragon 8 years ago yes unfinished nano frame terra is a radar target.. im not sure but mby you can make a whole army of radar dots appear anywhere on whole map instantly and for free + unkillable +0 / -0
GoogleFrog 8 years ago I'll require a replay with spacetimestamp to believe that this occurred. +0 / -0
Anarchid 8 years ago Unless there's some weird interfering gadget going amok, terraunits are stealth, that is invisible to radar. +0 / -0
SmokeDragon 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago) i may have made a mistake.. maybe there was something there i missed like some flea this is the replay.. http://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/373350 and about 20-25 mins in i attacked a terra pillar next to fplucks forward spider factory with inferno missile.. i could have sworn it was radar dotted.. but i made a mistake im sure.. ill watch again later to confirm time and facts +1 / -0
Skasi 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago) Don't forget to use /SpecFullView to see if there were radar dots. +1 / -0
SmokeDragon 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago) seems oddly i was not wrong =P 4 radar dots are in fact generated by Terra 27 mins / 78% load-bar on firepluck stardust towers side.. they wobble around a bit but i watched them on the replay for some time now and i feel its no mistake using /SpecFullView reveals terra causes it.. but im unsure how to replicate the bug en mass so as to confuse an enemy i took screenshots but i don't know how to upload them.. so yeah the dots are around for a good 5-10 mins and i cant kill them even with fire you dont have to sign in to download these pics just click anywhere outside of the do you want to sign up to drop box window and it vanishes.. then the download button is at top right. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcoopg3cz7c82ql/Screenshot%20from%202015-09-02%2017%3A15%3A28.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/kanznppvl5tp6wn/Screenshot%20from%202015-09-02%2017%3A15%3A32.png?dl=0 +1 / -0
lamer 8 years ago (edited 8 years ago) Any progress on the issue? I assume this bug causes troubles for AIs. B380586 8 on Nuclear_Winter_v1 - in the middle of the game (~40th minute unfortunatly) CircuitAI and then CAI tries to attack terraunit, that means terraunit got into LOS/Radar somehow. Strangly enough can't reproduce it: in quick-short experiments terraunit never generates EnemyEnterLOS or EnemyEnterRadar events. Random thoughts: Can it be due to messed unit id when id of dead unit reused? Or something below water-height related? Make terraunit destructable, or autodestruct on timeout? Edit: On second thought it is probably not a big deal for AIs, should be solvable with proper onlyTargetCategory processing. +0 / -0
