Range off by one?

#1 Post by urmane »

I've just noticed this - there appears to be an off-by-one error with Mindlash.

I'm playing a Mindslayer, and my Mindlash talent is at 5/5, with a range of 7. However, in the GUI, if I target a foe at exactly range 7 - that is, seven grids away, not counting the player's grid, counting the foe's grid, verified by the popup window - the talent does not work, as if the foe is out of range. Moving to range six works fine.

(I'm pretty sure this was also the case when the talent was not maxed, with a smaller range.)

The targeting distance differs a bit whether you aim straight or diagonally.
Are you sure this ain't the issue? If you aim straight it should Gove the listed range. If not it might be a bug.

This may very well be the issue - if that's the case, it's a bit confusing that hovering over a potential target shows "floor (range: 7) In sight", when a talent with "Range: 7" doesn't actually work.

(Verified with range 6, with a new Mindslayer)

Its a rounding error that will be fixed whenever DarkGod releases an update with the corrections in it.
My feedback meter decays into coding. Give me feedback and I make mods.
