They currently have no damage from AOE which is a known thing.

They are Immune to AOE?
Is this hardcoded or something we can use for an arbritrary entity?

Is this intentional or a bug?
...

Was this a fix to the fire damage issue?

The thing is, that the robots have zero sized collision box, so it is a side effect that we kind of got used to live with.

That shouldn't matter. I should know, I spent an excessive amount of effort trying to chain shotgun-shells with grenade effects from an SMG gun to get an instant, aim-required gun.... AOE damage ignores collision boxes.


unless you mean that have NO collision box, meaning aoe damage requires it to exist but otherwise ignores it...

To be specific, they have zero collision box and zero collision mask so they collide with nothing. Unless something specifically decides to ignore the collision system they get ignored.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
