Marines shooting past girders

Post by Abydos » 12 Oct 2015, 12:54

Bug Description:
This happened to me and another hunter during a round. Marines are able to shoot past girdlers as long as they are right next to them, or if there's a table next to them. Basically, because bullets spawn infront of the marines, and if there's already a wall infront of them, it moves across to the next open space which then allows aliens to be shot without fear of death as aliens cannot hit them in return(A wall in the way and a girdle).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Build a wall infront of you and place a girdle next to you.
2. Stand next to it or if there's a table next to it, climb onto it.
3. Start firing through the girdle.

I do believe this is intentional.

Manley Maclagan- hot shot pilot, spec, or grunt.

It's fine, and on that thread Apop said that there was a chance, but sadly that wasn't the case.

With just a revolver, he managed to get every single shot through which killed myself and a hunter.

Hmm he's either really lucky with his rng or it is a bug.

Yeah, I remember doing that. (I'm Alex). You could always do that from base ss13 from what I recall, so it's not exactly a bug, yet I can see how it can be unfair. Likewise, aliens like a carrier can do the exact same and throw a facehugger through the girder, or a spitter, sentinel etc can shoot spit through it in the same manner.

I have noticed the inconsistency if the girders but I thought it a bug,not a chance...it's useful information.
