Tschokky Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Glitch report: I have just played a very good TD game with Luca on cncnet and he beat the hell out of me. When I resigned, one of my HARVs was about to enter the refinery. Everything was destroyed except for that particular HARV.
0 cn2mc Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Old bug, known from back in the day. People used it to (try and) cheat on the ladder on WOL. It prevents resign/loss, essentially, because it leaves the harv alive. It sometimes happens naturally with other units, like if you resign, and one unit remains alive after the explosion. Then you can resign again, but the ref bug sometmes doesn't let you. It can also be triggered by selling a ref right as the harv backs up to it.
0 cn2mc Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Which makes me wonder, I've never tried this, what happens if you resign when your only unit is a harv and it's in your ally's refinery? Does the ref blow up? If not, are you stll alive once the harv goes out?
0 Nyerguds Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 A harvester docked in a refinery doesn't exist as unit at that moment. I doubt it would do anything at all.
0 MattAttack Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 A harvester docked in a refinery doesn't exist as unit at that moment. I doubt it would do anything at all. but when it un-docks, will it still be your unit? I'm interested in testing this.....
0 Nyerguds Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Yes... why wouldn't it? 'resign' does nothing but generate an explosion under each of your units and structures. No unit, no explosion.
0 MattAttack Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Yes, but what I mean is your harvester docks into the ally ref. You resign. Everything else blows up and shroud is revealed. Your harvester undocks and you're back in the game?
0 Nyerguds Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I... guess? Not sure. It depends on whether the game's lose trigger keeps track of ally-docked harvesters.
0 cn2mc Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 That's also one of the things I was thinking about, but the potential for exploits is negligible, so I didn't bother mentioning it.
