Spec access bug

Post by Casany » 19 Apr 2017, 19:47

Bug Description: well, specs of let's say Alpha have access to Charlie spec prep and machine, and this works with any squad


Steps to reproduce:
1.walk into the wrong prep, proceed to get all your spec gear
2.realize that you're in the wrong prep
3.make a break for it with the spec gear and hide in your own prep

I'm pretty sure this is intentional to prevent the hassle of access being like this:

Alpha Squad Prep
Alpha Squad Medic
Alpha Squad Engineer
Alpha Squad Spec
Alpha Squad Squad Leader
Bravo Squad Prep
Bravo Squad Medic

etc, you get the point.

as it is right now I believe squad specs will have access to Spec and their prep room, medics have access to squad medic and their prep.

This isn't a bug, it's intentional to reduce the number of access requirements and distributions, as Defaultio mentioned, all roles can enter each other's prep, it's just that you will rarely ever be allowed to.

Also taking from other squad preps at round start and/or without the acting commander's permission IS powergaming and a punishable offense. This is more targeted at specs and engineers than anyone else though.

You can avoid this problem by having the airlock use the "all" access mode instead of "any". This way you just put Alpha access and Spec access (both accesses already exist) on the alpha spec airlock, etc...

I can't find any reference to this issue in the bug subforum.

It's not a bug. But irrelevant for right now. Resolved.
