[SECRET_OF_ALIENS_SUCCESS] There is no range check on Transfer-plasma ability after "Amount" window appears
Bug Description:
You can transfer plasma to another alien through THE TIME AND SPACE if you left open "Amount" window. If you click "Transfer plasma" 99 times near Queen, you will be able to transfer plasma to her 99 times no matter how far she is.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Be near other alien
2. Click Transfer plasma N times. Do not fill "Amount" form
3. Step a few tiles away from other alien
4. Fill in amount and click OK => plasma flows to other alien
Aliens already abuse it so I think it should be fixed ASAP.

I've seen it and used it when the Queen was busy with egg-laying. Of course I click it once.

I can confirm that this works, practical value is rather questionable.

I've seen Queen getting plasma from several sentinels while they were far away, taking care of captured marines.Toroic wrote:I can confirm that this works, practical value is rather questionable.

I've used this plenty of times, but only from like 5 tiles away maximum. When the Queen is moving around and you're likely being pushed by that one asshole runner (there's always at least one in every round) it can be a bit difficult to make the transfer window pop up because you have to be adjacent to the Queen for it to work.
Once it's up, then it's all good.
And I think it should stay this way to be honest. I doubt anybody is going to spam the transfer window 99 times and have 99 "Transfer What Amount?" pop-ups on their screen.
It's one of those "Nobody thought of it until you brought it up." kinds of things. If this is going to be fixed, give it a range of five to ten tiles so the distance can't be outright abused.

Or... I don't know, five when there is one sentinel and the Queen.Wickedtemp wrote:I've used this plenty of times, but only from like 5 tiles away maximum. When the Queen is moving around and you're likely being pushed by that one asshole runner (there's always at least one in every round).

It is not 99 pop-ups, it is only one pop-up at the time. When you use it, another occurs. Pretty convinient.Wickedtemp wrote: I doubt anybody is going to spam the transfer window 99 times and have 99 "Transfer What Amount?" pop-ups on their screen.

Then that's more of an issue and makes it easier to abuse... I'd recommend a range of like five tiles.Inaf wrote: It is not 99 pop-ups, it is only one pop-up at the time. When you use it, another occurs. Pretty convinient.

There is a range check for who to give the plasma to, but no range check after you have the plasma transfer menu up.

I think some range needs to be allowed so you can still give plasma to the queen when she's moving around, but I didn't know people were abusing an infinite range like that.
