LOS Issue
Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2012 7:23 pm
Casting EV's inside of someones locked house has got to be a bug that needs to be fixed!
This is TOTALLY Unexceptable!

probably the same way they are targeting Chain Lightning etc ... using Razor to exploit the LOS changesKaivan wrote:An actual report on how it's being done would be useful.
and using Target Relative Location to cast inside a secure building sounds Era Accurate to you?Kaivan wrote:The LoS behavior only works with relative target, only works on houses with a stone foundation, and is easily reproducible. None of the known methods for casting work with a summon spell directly targeted into a house from outside.
This sounds pretty definitive to me. You can't summon inside a house.Kaivan wrote:However, despite that fact, there is an entirely separate piece of code that is checked when a blade spirit or energy vortex is cast which prevents you from successfully targeting inside a house, regardless of whether you have line of sight or not. This means that despite the behavior of the LOS code, and the fact that it allows you to target inside a house, it doesn't matter since you can't summon inside the house.

For the reference of anyone new here, it has been my experience that one should certainly detail any bugs found to Derrick and Kaivan, even if not posting them on the forums. I also haven't seen any instances of people getting banned for reporting bugs... ever.Telamon wrote:Not even bothering to post this new method.

Summoning a bladespirit or energy vortex into a house was not possible during the second age. Surprised it has lasted this long on the shard in all honesty.mfred wrote: huh?
since when couldn't you summon inside/cast into a house (friended, owned or banned)?.... ignoring the LOS issue.
Der and Kaivan know full well how to do it.Mikel123 wrote:For the reference of anyone new here, it has been my experience that one should certainly detail any bugs found to Derrick and Kaivan, even if not posting them on the forums.
