Xenos able to spit through walls

Post by Grimreaperx15 » 03 Jan 2017, 03:26

Bug Description:
Any spitter Xeno can fire diagonally through a wall if they can see a target as long as the diagonal space is open, as in

[]X Z
X T X
[]X []

Where X is a wall or door, [] is blank space, Z is a spitter Xeno and T is the target.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Stand in corner, make sure target is visible via seeing through walls
2. Click target who is walled/doored in
3. Target is now hit with acid/neurotoxin

Known since basically forever. It's a very itchy subject, better avoid bringing it up.

It can be annoying, because you don't even see her, but spitter could just stay in the door and spit/tackle you from there and you couldn't escape either.

Technically not a bug. It will be addressed when cornershooting is sorted out. Resolved.
