Title: ships stop appearing when disbaled during warp-in
Post by: 0rph3u5 on January 06, 2009, 08:01:49 am

Is there a mantis issue for this? - if yes I cannot find it

build is: fs2_open_3_6_10r-20081207_r4985.exe
Mission is "Boomerang" Mission 3
Situation is that through an wierd conincidence the envent disabling the GTD Blair was tiggered while the Blair was warping in.....
Result is -> the attched picture

Dunno if turrets or collision detection are still working but there are only 5 percent (maximum) of the ship present (=mapped)!!

Nice bug.  I haven't seen it in Mantis.  You probably should put it there.

How'd it get disabled so quick? :eek2:
The picture itself is a good laugh.

it was event tiggered....

Spoiler:

the Blair would not warp-in until all sentires in the mission had been destroyed and the destruction of the comm node causes the engines on the Blair to blow - both happened nearly simulatiously (I was to lazy to blow up the sentries)

I saw this while playing Transcend. It was only a fighter in that case. I ended up getting behind the fighter and pushing it until it came out of where the subspace effect had been and was whole. There needs to be something where a ship can't be disabled while exiting subspace, maybe an additional sexp with an "exited subspace delay" or something like that.

Well even if it's disabled there should be enough forward momentum to clear the warp effect.

Could be a FRED problem then?

Normally I don't double post, however, I just remembered it wasn't Transcend that showed that error with one of my squad mates, it was Sync.
