[181] Phase Gate View Bug

Syknik

In a general sense:

So pretty much this bug has to do with the phase gates and possibly the other view bugs. You would go through a phase gate and depending on the direction you were looking going in (either up/down), re-orientates your camera view so that from that position you can look 90degrees up and down from the angle you went through the phase gate.

The video demonstrates what I mean: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxAk9XhhQU4" target="_blank">Phaste Gate View Bug</a>

This video shows how messed up it can make your marine model look: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ1gMeObSb0" target="_blank">Messed Up Marine Model (swimming)</a>

Edit: Oh and on a site note. If you get an Obs, research Phase gates, then recycle your Obs. You're still able to place phase gates.

Now we need to figure out how it happens to aliens, because I had it happen as fade too.

I"m sure it has to do with something similar, like maybe if you die and you're viewing a skulk climbing up a wall or something a certain way, you spawn in and your view is messed up. Or perhaps how you come out of the egg, maybe if you come out of it looking a certain direction. I hope the devs can piece it together and fix it. =)

Nice find! I was wondering how this happened, but it seems to be related to how you view was oriented right before your teleported/spawned.

That's what i said ScardyBob,

=) But yeah depending the way you were looking right before being teleported.

I was playing around a bit with this and it was fairly easy to do with the phase gate. I did have it happen with alien spawning, but I wasn't able to find a reliable way to reproduce. I'm also wondering if it could happen when spawning from an IP.

could it also have something to do with alien sometimes spawning in a infantry portal?
this bug sometimes happens when you are using random team and you get picked for the aliens side.
