[BUG in 0.295] Collocated Hero and Monster

March 9, 2010 11:03:10 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

I tried to attack the spider, but I could not. Instead I went to the same cell. If I hover the cursor above the cell, I can see the "attack" cursor, and the info card for the spider. Please also note that info card says that the spider awaits orders. The cell itself shows both my hero and the spider.

It also happenned to me if, for instance, I gave the sovereign a tile to move on, and the spider was on the path. No combat was triggered because I didn't click on the tiles with the spider (or the spider)

Yeah, I hate this bug, I mostly notice it when I'm TRYING to attack an NPC.  My hypothesis is that they're really just "GHOSTS", they're not "really" there.  I mean, the enemy exists, but it's actually somewhere else and it's some sort of error of the game drawing it in the wrong place.

Notice how when you hover your pointer on an enemy, the pointer normally changes to a crossed swords pointer?  And how sometimes it doesn't?  I think when it doesn't, you're pointing at a shadow/ghost/what-have-you.

It's probably all tied up with the really-buggy unit stacking problem, or at least related.

It seems to happen when the player moves his unit on to the same space that the creature is moving to. Ships passing in the night, I guess.

 

Like tour86rocker suggested there seems to be a second issue that I've seen a couple times where a unit is at the limit of my vision. It is unselectable, as if it has already moved away into the fog of war.

I'm not convinced these are the exact same issues... I've only noticed the second when a figure is far off and the first when we're intersecting. Once one moves the figure becomes attackable again.

Well, as I mentioned in my case, the pointer does change into the crossed sword "attack" pointer if I hover it about the cell with hero and the spider. So, by this definition it is not a ghost.
