Corner Cutting: Why isn't this more of a Problem; Edition

[FatalEYES]

Bug Description: Projectiles and huggers able to go through corner spaces in walls.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Stand/place hugger in corner of wall/window.
2. Have marine either stand on the other corner to get facehugged/shoot you to shit.
3. N/A

Additional Notes:

A hugger was able to jump from blue corner onto a marine in red corner. Whereas a marine was able to shoot the alien into crit from red corner while he was in blue corner.

Partly intended.

Basically, your shooting through a "hole" betwen the wall and the glass.

[FatalEYES]

So...windows aren't like normal windows and air tight at the edges like I thought? I mean, I know this is an isometric game, but I didn't think that glass windows were literally just a big pillar of glass in a gap. Regardless, do we really want huggers getting through that 1x1 pixel size hole?

[apophis775]

We'll look into a fix, maybe a glass corner or something.

[FatalEYES]

inb4 a resprited "Weed-Spray" to seal up windows to prevent this. Anyway, thank ya.

Huh, weird. I thought those square windows + dense corner blocked all diagonals.. I'll take a look at it.

[TR-BlackDragon]

Same thing is possible between diagonal girders

Also works on fully built walls
Back when the research dome had live huggers if you stood in a corner near it you would pretty much get hugged

Will be fixed with Abby's upcoming projectile rewrite.
