[8.63b] sky fort bombs

[cyberrabies]

I personally don't think its a bug but thought I'd post it just in case. While banished by anti-grav's ulti, a sky fort can continue to drop bombs and offcourse damage everyone else around him but not himself

^I think he means Demon tank's Banish

I think he's talking about the antigrav ulti because the sky fort doesn't take damage. And i wouldn'd consider it a bug. Afaik the bombs are also still dropped when the sky fort dies.

They arent dropped after it dies. But probably script only checks if SkyFortress is alive or not to continue dropping. Well it is alive while stasised, so it continues. I think it is normal..

[Paladon]

There is already a condition for this case implented.
That means, the Sky Fortress should not drop any bomb while being catched by "Dimension Shift".

[TKF]

It's being delayed, or stopped?

[Paladon]

Stopped. So either the script for the prevention is not working or there's no bug.
While i am at it, shall i change it to be delayed?

[Velocity2k]

They arent dropped after it dies.

Ok, somebody told me that today, havent observed it myself.

I'm not sure if it should be delayed or stopped. There are good reasons for both options.

[Paladon]

I think it'd be quite cool if they are dropped delayed then.
I'm planning to implent that change to 8.64 if nothing speaks against it.

[horselance]

But you must remember that there is a big time gap before they meet ground. There is nearly 2 sec gap between you drop a bomb and it exlodes. Probably people see them exploding after dimension shift is used or SF died. But bombs are dropped before it dies..

[Paladon]

I implented a system for possibly delayed bomb dropping under certain circumstances (just as f.e. Dimension Shift).
It is available since version 8.64.
