Author Topic: Note to the 'Glitch' (Read 2935 times)

Using the 'Pause Glitch' have you ever noticed that sometimes the other bot havoks out of control? Sometimes the bots wedges go straight in the air and also bots start off upsidedown As it can't be controlled this would never be used in an AI tournament. My 2 cents no ranting

I have tried it out countless times, that is why I made the thread suggesting we do it in tournaments... I have done it time and time again, I do it before every match and i've never seen havoc explosions except when driving over broken HS motors...

Not sure what you mean by try it. I pause before tons of matches and this has never happened. :)

*On topic* What Pys says does happen to me every so often. Just look at the video Clickbeetle posted of his flail VS in his showcase, as the random havoking happens there too.

But does the pause method contribute to the random havoking? All I'm saying is a lot of mace HS and VS and other bots can't be entered because of the inability to balance them, my tankcat can't even drive properly without being balanced... the pause method fixes this, every time for every match. You can't attribute the havoking to the pausing, there's just no proof...

@tankcat: It is proof... if you didnt have to click pause the other bot will never glitch at the START of the match. You can even make the bot glitch more if you dely the unpause.

*I'm still on-topic!* I think the pausing does. Although I've noticed that pausing cuts down on the match loading time, with bots like my 36HS's, they sometimes havok at the start, but only after I've used the pause button. I have to say though, I've never had any troubles balancing my maces without the pause button. For me, they are always exactly where I want them.

Have you checked the collision boxes with f12...?

Check it with a basket.

Tankcat: Yes, I have. When I get back to my computer with RA2 on, I'll post some pics to show you that they are balanced.

Dang youre lucky. I've tried it on 3 different comps and none of them want to work like youre describing.

This IS an important subject guys.

What Pysclone is saying happens because by pressing the pause button, moving components (such as burst motors) can't adjust while the arena is loaded. So if you unpause it, the motors will abruptly adjust themselves to where the game thinks they are at.

Ive never had the problem with messed up meshes on maces either.

Well, it doesnt seem to be just maces, the rotating axles on flail shell spinners are often plagued with a similar issue.

Doubt they would give it a name and its own wiki page if it was just me. AGOD for refrence, look it up.

I knew what 'a-god' was before you even got to this forum. Really don't care for these dumbs names however.
