im not sure if this is a bug with pathing

the enemy made a crab so i began to swarm it with fleas.. but for some reason they wouuldnt shoot the crab.. they ran up half the spire and then sat with an attack order just looking at the crab and i had to manualy give them move orders up the spire but then they would all pool up and get 1 shot

anyone else notice this? i could swear its most spiders

yes , perhaps its the terrain the flea was lower and cant hit em , i think flea need certain angle of view to be able to attacks, but weird tou the crab can shoot down the flea

My guess is the LOS from end of the flea gun battle to the center of the crab goes through the spire, whereas end of the crab gun barrel to the center of the flea is through only air and can therefore fire.

but are units with a direct attack order not able to understand they must advance until they can fire?

Units with an attack order advance until they're in range, not until they can fire. It is assumed that they can fire once in range.

that makes sense.. but fleas are not in range when they attack a spire.. so thats still maybe a bug

They are in range though. Just because something is in range does not mean it can shoot.

ill post a screenshot next time it happens and it will become more clear that even though your technically correct, (the best kind of correct) i assume because the hitbox base is located over the lip rim of the spire it does not look like they cannot shoot and atleast looks silly.. if nothing else ill soon prove it looks silly

mark my words.. it will look very silly indeed.. muha ha ha

also it means that fleas and widdows cant attack crabs on spires if done correctly.. wich is harsh.. sigh' i guess its crabs vs crabs then

Yeah, I've noticed this too, and should've mentioned it a while ago when I first noticed it. It's super annoying and there should be some adjustment to spiders so that they move until they can actually fire.

if you played a fps where you could put on some shoes and noone could shoot you because they cant see your feet.. so just stands infront of you with the gun looking confused

.. the whole crab can be hit minus its asshole so as the flea could shoot anything but the spire and still hit the crab.. but it wont shoot...

and thats 'not' a bug.. but sunken stinger being untargetable for the same reason was 'a bug' and got fixed...

ok

time for luch.. at least a sandwich will understand me
