[Beta 7.2] Gun-only volley not switching targets.
« on: January 17, 2019, 10:50:51 AM »

I fired a 4-gun volley. My third shot destroyed the target. There was no message about switching to a secondary target (hostile sentry was visible). Gunslinging was supposed to be guaranteed.

Only the chance to attempt switching the volley to another target is guaranteed, but there are a number of other requirements to be met, too, like LOS, active state of the target, whether the target is armed, having at least one remaining weapon within range, etc.

I just spent about 30 minutes recreating every possible scenario from this image and tested them a couple hundred times each and it works every time, so I think there must've been something else to this situation that's not apparent. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong there.

None of the requirements you mentioned were broken. And it happened again at a later time, with different guns.

Yeah I saw your comments on Discord. I haven't seen this happen myself in regular play, nor could I repeat by testing, either, so I dunno. The code is quite straightforward and appears fine. Look for a pattern if there is one?
