bolts without friendlyfire get eaten by friends

[Dekar]

Bolts with friendlyfire=false disappear instead of passing through friendlies.
I think this should be changed or at least a new projectile type added with this functionality.

Already located a possible fix:

In engine/target.lua line 264:

Code: Select all

				-- If we explode due to something other than terrain, then we should explode ON the tile, not before it
				elseif typ.stop_block then
					local nb = game.level.map:checkAllEntitiesCount(lx, ly, "block_move")
					if nb > 1 or (nb == 1 and game.level.map:checkAllEntities(lx, ly, "block_move") and not game.level.map:checkEntity(lx, ly, engine.Map.TERRAIN, "pass_projectile")) then
						if for_highlights then

If local nb = game.level.map:checkAllEntitiesCount(lx, ly, "block_move") gets changed to substract the amount of actors friendly to the source actor it should work.

Yeah, friendlyfire isn't so friendly with Projectiles at the moment. This is on my todo list but feel free to bump it if you don't hear from me in a while...

Tiger_eye and I put some time into this and have created a "friendlybock" branch on Gitorious. You can now add a "friendlyblock=false" flag to a target definition to allow friendly actors to not stop a bolt (or other things with the "stopblock=true" flag). Please test it out!

Minor aesthetic bug: The path, when targeting, still shows tiles behind friendlies blocked in red.

But functionality seems to be ok.

Coding mistake by me, everything seems to be fine so far.

I'll be pointing this out to DG soon, so keep testing!
