Bug Description:
Plasteel barricades and by extension sandbags don't protect you from acid globs or neurotoxin if you're standing on them instead of a tile behind them.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Stand on top of plasteel barricade.
2. Spitter or Praetorian spits at you.
3. Get burnt or knocked down.

Barricades don't block spit
Troublesome, as usual.

Re: Barricades don't block spit
I'm pretty sure that this is intentional, not sure why, because they're barricades anyways
On May 17, 2016, a group of farmers dug up the diary of an ear of corn named Watson. Here are his entries.
Day 76:
They took Lawrence, dear god Lawrence... They ripped him off the stalk and smeared him in butter, just like Tyler and Jodie. They shipped him off to the popcorn factory...
I wonder what his wife will say.
Day 120: My brother says the VEGANS are protesting for more anti-meat bullshit. They want more of us to die. FUCKING HEATHENS.
Day 153: The ants are eating me from the inside out. They are popping out my kernels and taking them back to the nest. I feel them moving inside me. Julia says the pesticides will end our misery.
Day 300: Sweet Release. I can hear the planes flying over now. They are dropping the gas, it feels so good, sweet release-

Re: Barricades don't block spit
Stand 1 tile further back to decrease chances of being hit. Barricades only lower accuracy, they don't negate it.
CM was obviously inspired by Starcraft: Ghost opening. At least when marines takes too long to deploy.

Re: Barricades don't block spit
Barricades have a set chance (non-zero, but not 100 %) to completely block a projectile even if it hits on the same tile, as long as the attack is coming from the correct way
If that detection fails and you get hit 100 % of the time (please use a decent sample size, 10 hits, maybe 20), then it is a bug. If it partially fails, this is working as intended
