| Summary | 0020326: Units able to get the damage bonus for a target inside a bubble, against the bubble itself. | ||||
| Description | Feels bit hard to explain this... Planet Mauchly in the save has a Tritium Sniper Starship on it. There's a Forcefield on the far left opposite, with a couple of fleetships in it. The Starship gets a 8x damage modifier against anything with albedo 0.3 or below. Have the Sniper target the Forcefield itself, and then a Fleetship, and watch the damage dealt in the tooltip. If you target the forcefield itself, the damage is 330, as expected (due to the generators albedo being higher than the requirement for the multiplier). If you target a fleetship inside it however, the bonus damage multiplier comes in, it hits the forcefield, and it has 8x damage against it, even though the forcefield is meant to be immune to this multiplier. This means things like Stingrays, that get a boost against bubble forcefields, need to be targeting the forcefield itself, and not something inside it. Dev build! | ||||

Great catch |

Relevant to something I'm testing with Tractor Arrays, so here's a new reproduction case. (EDIT: Decided against it. It was slightly weird). Concussion Corvette targeting Pike Turret under a Forcefield Guard Post. It has a bonus against the Turret, but not the Post. Simply unpause, then check the damage the Corvette reports (requires weapon activity debug). It'll be reporting a value with the bonus, despite hitting the Forcefield. |

I can't load either of these saves, for some reason, which is concerning. I'm not sure if these were older versions, but the second one surely should have been viable unless it was made in a dev environment. I'm not having trouble loading other saves, though. |

Unable to test it out since I can't load the saves, but should work: * Completely re-plumbed how forcefields block shots to make the whole thing more efficient, and easier code to read. The essential functionality should remain the same (shooting something under a bubble shield, or the bubble shield itself, hits the bubble visually), but now it should always use the bonuses of the ship against the bubble-emitter and not whatever was underneath it that you were targeting. ** This may fix some other shield-related bugs, but also hasn't been tested much yet. Thanks! |
