| Summary | 0021470: neutral planet hacking for knowledge extraction does not cost AIP even when caused by 3rd party. | ||||
| Description | There are a couple of bugs that take place when a player hacks to extract knowledge from a neutral planet they are not "responsible" for. i.e. if the marauders or nanocaust have taken out the command station: (1) The hack says it will cost 5 AIP if the player did not destroy the command station. This is not applied. (2) After the hack, the knowledge is correctly set to 0. However, the AIP cost to take the planet is also set to 0 and the player will gain no scouting intel when they do take the planet. This sets up the exploit I mentioned in the forums where instead of paying 20AIP, the player instead gets somebody else to do the dirty job and then pays 10 hacking points + 5 AIP instead. At this point, they don't even pay the nominal 5 AIP. Save B attached in the comment of issue 21463 should suffice to demonstrate this, although the AIP is at floor value and should only raise by 1 rather than 5. One can eliminate the marauder outpost at Tierce to check. One can also defeat a Nanocaust planet. https://bugtracker.arcengames.com/view.php?id=21463 | ||||

When I test this hack I immediately see a bunch of errors like 8/7/2019 6:24:00 PM DoEntitySecondLogic for TransportFlagship_Starter debug code 80 exception System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at Arcen.AIW2.External.BaseHackingImplementation.DoSuccessfulCompletionLogic (Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Target, Arcen.AIW2.Core.Planet planet, Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Hacker, Arcen.AIW2.Core.ArcenSimContext Context, Arcen.AIW2.Core.HackingType type) [0x001a7] in <d84bbfccf2b64282aac64a0f09e3a3a4>:0 at Arcen.AIW2.External.Hacking_ScienceExtractionFromNeutralPlanet.DoSuccessfulCompletionLogic (Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Target, Arcen.AIW2.Core.Planet planet, Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Hacker, Arcen.AIW2.Core.ArcenSimContext Context, Arcen.AIW2.Core.HackingType type) [0x00001] in <d84bbfccf2b64282aac64a0f09e3a3a4>:0 at Arcen.AIW2.External.BaseHackingImplementation.DoOneSecondOfHackingLogic (Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Target, Arcen.AIW2.Core.Planet planet, Arcen.AIW2.Core.GameEntity_Squad Hacker, Arcen.AIW2.Core.ArcenSimContext Context, Arcen.AIW2.Core.HackingType type) [0x00157] in <d84bbfccf2b64282aac64a0f09e3a3a4>:0 |

This was caused by a null reference exception when you tried to do that hack. It should have also cluttered your debug log and given you weird artifacts with the hacking notification. |
