[Posila] [0.14.7] Destroyer's beam attack deals double damage

Post by Meppi »

With damage_interval = 20 on the beam and duration = 20 on the destroyer one attack deals damage twice, once at the start and once at the end of the duration, doubling the damage output.

I think this is a bug,

If we imagine we want things simple, this is wrong,

I want the beam to do 20 damage total,

so i set the interval to 1, and duration to 20,

However it would do 21 damage right?

In the same way i want to do 5 damage, so i set duration to 100, and interval to 20,
However it would do 6 damage

I think it is more intuitive this way

That's correct, if you also set the beam damage to 1.
You would have to set the durations to 19 and 99 or you get an off-by-one error.

Indeed the logic looks wrong for the beam :)
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Thanks for the report.
It should be fixed in 0.14.10
