[Resolved] Jammed in overwatch freezes the battle
« on: September 08, 2017, 09:10:55 PM »
(v19, linux)

I know you said that all the various conditions were tested. So it's possibly resolved. But as jamming wasn't much mentioned before in this relation, I will rather report this.

Problem: Elena got her assault rifle jammed (I saw that red floating text) right when she was about to make burst overwatch attack. It freezes the battle during an enemy's turn at the point of jamming.

In the log there are no errors. The last part around jamming happening:
Code: [Select]

CharMoveScript.StartMovement. next tile in movement is: (2.0, 11.0)

BattleControlScript.RemoveCharacterFromOverwatchList. Player character removed


Edit: I'm trying to recreate the issue and now the weapon got jammed right away when wanted to enter overwatch with Snap mode. So it doesn't let me and no battle freezing happens.

Do I understand it right that the game checks this before it lets me end the turn? Because in that case the reported situation shouldn't happen at all. It was clear to me that weapon jamming happened during an enemy's turn when Elena was already in overwatching mode. So in that case maybe there is another  if jammed  check that shouldn't be called.

I will try to re-test, maybe the issue is burst mode related... I don't know what is jamming behavior during normal turn, does it check once at the start of attack or for each shot within burst?

Edit2: Recreated. This time Normal weapon mode, so not burst specific (log says "use mode: 1"). At the point of entering overwatch no jamming, but at the point of OW the attack it got jammed and freezes the battle.

I prevented entering overwatch if weapon is jammed, and did a check if weapon will jam in next attack, but must have missed something... will look at this one now.

For overwatch, it does a pre check, and prevents OW if the weapon will jam. Problem was it was rechecking if the weapon jams when overwatch starts and there was no code to handle the outcome. Fixed now. Good catch!
