| Summary | 0003959: TAB targeted firing doesn't pick an optimal firing solution | ||||
| Description | This might be hard to fix, but... 1. Target a boss (like a large skelebot) with TAB 2. Imagine the boss on top of a hill, somewhat behind the peak and you're at the bottom 3. Fire. Your auto-target hits the hill instead of hitting the enemy because it targets the middle of the boss and runs into the hill. 4. Turn off tab targeting 5. Fire at the HEAD of the boss 6. Hit the boss! So, my suggestion: Have TAB targeting do LOS calculations and fire at the portion of the target that can actually be hit (LOS at fire time assuming infinite speed bullet). X X X ____X boss / / / you_/ | ||||

This strikes me as something that would be a lot of work. I would be nice, but, IMO, not at the expense of a lot of time right now. |

This is actually working as intended. In recent versions there is now a line showing you the angle it will fire at, so that you can jump or move to make it so that you have a shot that can hit, though. Using things like the launch rock spell in this manner is likely to almost never give a good result, though. There's just only so much we can do with auto-targeting of this sort, and frankly I think only so much we want to do before it gets into the "playing itself" sort of territory. |
