Does This Happen To Anyone Else?

<div class="IPBDescription">possible bug...</div> When I am reloading and press the build key on a structure, my game waits for me to finish reloading, and then starts building, but for some reason it starts looping between the end of the reload animation/wait time, and the building. The end effect of this is something along the lines of: structure builds for half second, and stops building for a half second while the end of the reload animation replays. Consequently it takes twice as long to build anything until I let go of the build key to break the cycle (and this doesn't always work either, if I don't wait for the reloading animation caused by the glitch to finish the cycle will start agian)

A simmilar, but much less annoying glitch can be exloited by reloading the shotgun while getting ammo. the reload animation plays as many as 20 times over, only having a shell be put into the weapon inbetween ammo ticks once in a while, allowing you to reload the shotgun (although slowly) while picking up ammo at the usual pace.

I just wanted to know if this is a known bug and if it is worth submiting to the bug report forum.

Huze

yes, i think it is..(at least the shotgun thing) i don't reload while building

Swiftspear

not reloading while building, trying to start building while reloading (stick a clip in for good measure so that you don't get caught with your pants down behind that RT)

Yeh i get those bugs, quite annoying at times.

Shotgun and ammo one i always sit there and fill my gun 1 shot at a time i dunno what it is but something compels me to sit there and fill even though if i get off and reload properly its twice as fast, perhaps im a armoury humper and i didnt know? Must go to AA meetings to get off this habit!!

I have problems with taking ammo from armory and reloading at the same time. Even when the reload animation has finished, ammo goes to the gun only a few seconds after I stop using armory.

I have gotten that bug for as long as I can remember. I just step back and then start again and it stops.

Fixed in 3.0

Swiftspear

I get the shotgun one and it's annoying, because I'm trying to hump the armory and my shotty takes forever to reload <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->.

Yeah the reload / build switch-between bug is simple -- Just stop building for a second, aka release "e" or whatever key you use, and start again. Make sure aftery you release that you've fully pulled our your rifle.

This goe's for building and getting ammo.

Yep. Tech said what I was going to say first.

This is actually a really kickass bug fix that should be forwarded to the guys at valve because EVERY other mod does that. It's like, part of the engine itself or something. If it's intentional or not, I don't know, but it's annoying. Reload times for the default HL weapons weren't that bad anyway, and it was faster to lastinv to an already loaded gun and press the button then it was to reload fully anyway.

BUT, it also did introduce a very very explotable bug which is known, but I will not post here. In short, it allows those unpatched 2.01 version GL base spamming again, albeit to a lesser extent.
