____THIS POST IS A BUG POST____

This bug's causing reason is explained in the first reply, also gifs may help you to understand it.

 

These images shows explanation of the bug;

example gifs:

posted image    posted image  

 

 

posted image this gif shows vehicle occupying two cells when moving "1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0" 

 

posted image   

also very similar one here tiberian sun, i think its the same thing that both of these games using it and i have no idea what that is. Game engine? Source code? some main execution game motors? i have no idea

 

 

(TEST RESULTS)

  • I've tested X-Arena Tower Defense map 8 times, no bugs appeared!

But the author said "Bug sometimes appearing in X arena TD"

My Calculations were wrong, or i was lucky to didnt get any of bug

 

  • There is nothing to do with map height, lowering or increasing map height does not prevent that bug happening

  • Converted my some of survival maps into newurban theater, it did no effect. bug still appearing

  • Using "OmniCrusher" code does not effect anything

 we have thought the blocking bug cell is some kind of dead cell and the game engine thinks there are still something after living unit is dead.

So I used OmniCrusher code to any vehicle units into my map for crush dead cells. It didnt work, it should have but it didnt. 

I think bug is some DUMMY unit or what so ever and its immune to any damage. It means you cant kill it you cant pass through it.

  • Changed vehicle units locomotor's into Infantry locomotor, it didnt work. The bug is still appearing.

 

This bug may happen any map in any time, there is nothing to prevent it as all i know. Especially freaky spammed units are exists. 

 

 

 

JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW

This record shows the vehicles occupying two cells when they are moving certain location. If they killed some moment while occupying two cells, the bug is appearing

this bug is caused when a unit is turning at a certain angle and is destroyed at that moment. what happens is the unit, for a breif moment, takes two cells' space in the game. when the unit is destroyed, the first cell is cleared but the game still thinks the unit is in the second space forever.

you cant build there and units dont even try to go around because they think the dead unit can be 'pushed' out of the way. there is no way to fix or prevent it.

thats veeeery clear now...if that theory is true but im not sure that is a theory lol all of this makes sense now. 

In this reply you have made i am assuming infantry units dont leaves their ghost" corpse" when they killed at that moment

i think only vehicles cause that bug

btw how did you made that clear answer? where do you know that stuff?

I don't know how @McPwny found out reason of this bug but:

- some kinds of terrain way more frequently affected by this bug than other ones. Bug appears mostly on winter maps and non-default kind of terrain.

- bug usually appears in maps with enermous number of units (survival maps). Guess: the game is able to clear some limited number of dead cells, but when the number of double-cell unit deaths is exceeding this limit their 2nd cells are still remain on the map.

- I successfully reproduced this bug in vanilla YR. I used no-cd patched exe with ddraw.dll, non-cncnet version. (2016 year)

- BFs and units with OmniCrusher=yes is able to drive over this cells. You can use this to fix your map (if this is tower defense game as I suppose). Just put this setting to all units you use.

Yea but i disagree with this. I think OmniCrusher does not crush friendly units

Excuse me but what is that mean? I think EA lost source code of the game so it means you cant just know deep things. Or am i wrong? Could u explain me those things cuz im really curious

You mean it only fixes it when the unit causing the bug was an enemy?

Umm. He just said he managed to get the same effect in the original game, meaning he confirmed it's unrelated to whatever cncnet did with the exe fie. How is that related to source code?

And, you can figure out how stuff works just from testing a lot, you know.

I dont know, OmniCrusher just crush enemy vehicles that i know. Even if it crush friendly units, that is not going to let disappear that bug anyway

@Tutankhamun I had a conversation with @McPwny and we ended up in unchecked conclusion that dead cells caused by Omnicrusher's deaths impassable for any land units.

But the fact

is thuthful aswell.

And I think locked cells don't have any player's side owner. This is not hard to test. Check please if you can and report about results.

I have just tested six times. The bug is still appearing and nothing is changed, units are still cannot pas through the buggy cell

I have used:

  

OmniCrusher=yes
Crusher=yes
MovementZone=CrusherAll

Each code separately i mean; one by one and all in one together. If i used wrong codes or something missing, slap me

According to these codes; Units are able to crush any enemy vehicles but something is missing. Is the dead cell a vehicle? Or any unit?

Do we have misunderstanding here?

If you have destroyed omnicrushers - > cells impassable for any land units.

If you have destroyed non-omnicrushers - > cells passable only for omnicrushers.

Clear?

it makes no sense that battle fortress would be able to clear dead cells. whats it going to do? kill the shadow of the already dead unit?

i wouldnt even insist on this except ive seen battlefortresses caught in dead cells plenty of times. literally everything you have said in this thread is straight up wrong and i find it suspicious.

@McPwny he didn't get your picture, I explained to him. Haha.

I thought he knows that TS and RA2/YR game engines is very similar.

also misunderstandings:

Sorry @Ezer_2000 that doesnt  like anything to me. Like i said battle fortress doesnt even drive over or clear bugged cells. Plz dont upset about it there is nothing to do with it. 

I just wanna trying to solve this problem or just prevent it, there is no point argruing with "clear-drive over" meaning...
