Bullets don't hit downed aliens

Post by Crab_Spider » 31 Mar 2017, 12:36

Bug Description: If a xeno is resting or in crit, bullets fired directly on them fail to register, regardless of position or accuracy level.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Get an alien in crit
2. Click their sprite with a gun in an active hand
3. Bullets will not register or activate RNG logs
You will never be as bad as the baldie who picked up a tactical shotgun while a hunter was pouncing on top of a CMO for 4 seconds, with his only response being to pace around before being decap'd by said hunter. You are not Brett Kimple, and you never will be. You are not the reason why I regular MP.

hate when this happen because
The riffle bullet misses Young Runner (404)!
The riffle bullet misses Young Runner (404)!
The riffle bullet has been deflected by Young Runner (404) THICC exoskeleton!

All of this when the alien is critted, downed, and cant move
But im not sure how do we tweak byond broken RNG system

Better move closer to them then. Sometimes bullets miss or get deflected.

I don't really know why this happens, the shots randomly decide to fly over the xeno for next to no reason, even on direct clicks, i had to even make sure i wasn't clicking on the ground.

Oh no, I was 5 tiles away from a stunned runner, I clicked directly on it, and all of my 4 bullets didn't register.

If you are wounded, or due to a host of other accuracy-related factors, you will miss more. Even if the target it downed. This is not a bug, invalid.
