Summary0010531: Spells glitching out near walls
DescriptionThis one affects quite alot of spells actually, and has also been around in the first game for.... quite some time.

I included a screenshot to try to help explain this. The Light Rocket spell is a good example of what happens. If fired so that it hits that wall to the right, it SHOULD burst and have some of the "shrapnel" go towards the left, right? But it doesnt do that. The explosion shown in the screenshot is the max range that the burst has when up against that wall. Rocket spells in particular do this really often when they hit walls.

The ammo spell from that set is another good example, if fired up against the wall, it should be creating bursts to the left of me; instead, when fired like that, it has even less effect than the rocket spell.

This affects quite alot of spells. Spells like the ammo spell in that particular set are particularly prone to it (even if they have a BIG range, like that ash cloud one, just being too close to a wall can utterly stop it from working in ANY direction), and it can be unpredictable too, as it's not JUST vertical walls that will set it off. I've had it happen randomly when standing on the edge of platforms or on inclines.

This is the most common glitch I encounter in the game currently.

Thanks!

* Previously, there were a number of situations in which rocket explosions, and the explosions of enemies that explode on death, would be really unreliable and not happen as they should when against solid walls. Fixed.
** Please do let us know if you find any other cases of this sort of thing and we'll sort them out!
