Sentry shooting at obstructed targets

Post by Edgelord » 11 Nov 2015, 19:27

Bug Description:
Sentries will shoot at targets on other side of blast doors.

Steps to reproduce:
1.Build sentry in West FOB near exit
2.Have alien stand on other side of blast doors
3. Watch as sentry will continue to shoot at a target it has no line of sight to

Seen it a couple of times, might be a feature, not a bug.
Sentry gun has "absolute" LOS, but limited LOF.

I understand it for a statue or something, but a blast door is basically a wall. Aliens can just sit completely out of view of everyone and make the sentry fire until it goes click.

Switch it off or to 360* to lower range, or pop aylium with nades.

I couldn't imagine why. It makes no sense and it's a cheap tactic.
