| Summary | 0006649: Make Skelebot Overlord meteor shower slide on the ceiling | ||||
| Description | I just fought the Skelebot Overlord for the first time but his meteor shower spell wasn't doing him much good: The ceiling was fairly low so the meteors just slammed right into that and never even got close to me. Sliding would fix that but I guess it could cause trouble with the behaviour once the meteors hit the ground... | ||||

Thanks! * Substantially fixed up the physics on launched rocks and meteors. ** Previously they would act in various unnatural ways after they collided with ground or a wall (sliding along them, shrinking and missing certain other targets they would normally hit, rolling along the ground and taking out way too many enemies in a battlefield, etc). ** All of these bad behaviors were based around some logic we've had with launched rocks/meteors/ice from the start, which was basically that they would keep being simmed even after they were dying, and just until they were actually all the way shrunk they would then disappear. We've now taken that logic out. ** This means that if you misjudge your shot and clip the edge of a wall, your rock just explodes there and you accomplished nothing. It also means that you can't go "bowling" for enemies with launched rocks anymore. It also means that a monster meteor shower from a skelebot overlord might hit the ceiling and never come down at you depending on his position. ** On the other hand, for entities (including cardboard boxes) that you're firing at, you can still fire through huge arcs of them with no problem. That's what this spell was designed to do (that, plus fire over small rises or hills). |
