TheVulture Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 From the "Die Letzte Hoffnung" DAR thread, I found this bug during one of my turns. Here are the orders given. The unit of interest is the one selected, given a simple quick move order into a nearby building (I note that one of the men from the squad - which are meant to be lurking outside another building - seems to be inside it as the turn starts). What actually happens is that three of the men decide to go for a jog around the houses. Here is one of them - the other two have gone to the other side of those houses. Here they are. One of them has got himself killed, which isn't a bug exactly :S The quick move order to a nearby building seems to have turned into some bizarre assault order to who knows where. I have a save of the replay available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c3k Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Thanks for posting this along with the screenshots. Definitely part of a pathfinding bug. (FWIW, not that it matters for the bug, the order you gave could lead to the unit running around the destination building the "wrong" way.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 This is the sort of unfortunate game system AI bug/eccentricity where I feel it's legitimate to replay the turn with different pathing - since you are having to play/manipulate the game system rather than depending on good tactics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas_in_mlb Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I can't tell you how many times I've seen troops expose themselves to fire entering buildings by going around the building and ignoring the safe route inside via an obvious door. On top of that the designers have never heard of entering a building through a ground floor window, which is a good idea when the opposite side of the building is in the enemy's LOS/LOF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnart Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I had that happen recently on that map too. The only real casualties I got were becuase of that. They ran right around and got nailed by a HMG. Here is the thread "Magician units" that has some nice close ups of their dumb ass's sprawled out all over the road on the opposite side of where the door was. http://www.battlefront.com/community/showthread.php?t=105018 What can you do, but drive on. Its just one of those stupid things that happens every now and then. It's a bug like all games have. For the most part I don't experience too many problems with path finding. I have found that usually more plot marks are better then less for smoother pathing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
