Bug - Hero Selection

Post by Greenspawn » Thu Oct 09, 2008 12:50 pm

I noticed something; when I try and use any of Rikter's abilities before he is selected, he loses mana, almost as if they were being used. Others just do nothing or say: "Caster movement is disabled", but his doesn't.

Also, there was one game where, for an instant while loading the game, I had all the hero icons on the left side of the screen.

I have an image of the rikter bug, but not of the second one.

This happened to me a lot in Aotz (later versions I think), but it didn't affect the game at all.

Same. No effect, just a weird glitch.

Because his abilities in terms of gametime are instant, so they execute instantly, but are then happily prevented anyways.

The icons appear if you are the red player or green player in AotZ... you can select a hero before the black screen fades away in that way. :)

Another hero selection bug is that sometimes heroes fail to appear for one team. This has happened twice today, but never before. -RM fixes it.

I noticed that too, I know the issue but I guess it wasn't released yet.

This happens when someone leaves immediately as the game starts. (Not always though) I'm sure this has been identified before.

Could it be that when his triggered spells fire, the triggers are registered with EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CAST?

Erm, no, he just has a 0.00 cast point so that SPELL_CAST and SPELL_EFFECT fire in the same instant.

In other words, his spells don't have a casting animation? Like Tornne raising his sword for taint. etc.

Doesn't this always happen when you're dark green(Order) or brown(Bane)?

That happens in AotZ, yes, but not in DoE.
