Construction bug

Post by Moddedout »

When constructing something like a building etc, if a flying VTOL goes over the site before the builder has a chance to start construction. The building does not take place because the site is blocked despite the fact that the unit blocking it is in flight over the spot. This is in the most recent beta version.

Nice find. Yeah, it's annoying when builds are cancelled because there was a unit on one of those tiles.

Interestingly, the master-20101114 version doesn't have this problem. The truck will continue with the build even when there is another unit on one of the structures tiles. Only glitch now is, the unit remains on that tile even after the structure is complete.

VTOLs always fly around command centers, but can fly above other buildings.

Actually, wait, scrap that, I'm not sure that's what it's defining.
This is probably because command centres have a height value of 3 in structures.txt. Whereas, most base structures have a height value of 2.
