[Rseding91] [0.15.37] Bots faster than the player get stuck (sometimes)

[mulark]

In this case I tested with worker robot speed 17.

When bots return to the player after completing a job, if the player is moving, they can get stuck outside the charging range of the player.

According to viewtopic.php?f=23&t=49367 This is intended behavior.

However, at various player speeds this does not occur, and the bots charge as normal.

Number of exoskeletons:

Code: Select all

0: Stuck
1: Stuck
2: Stuck
3: Stuck
4: Charge
5: Stuck
6: Stuck
7: Stuck
8: Charge
9: Stuck
10: Charge

Video showing the phenomenon at 0 and 8 legs (worker17) https://youtu.be/rJC4k5xvPmc

Further testing at worker 18 and 19 revealed:

Code: Select all

Worker 18: every configuration gets stuck
Worker 19: 5 legs and 10 legs charge, all others stuck

In my opinion bots getting stuck nullifies some of the benefit of the higher worker robot speeds.

Thanks for the report. I've fixed the "stuck" you show in the videos for 0.16 - the robots properly charge as the player moves instead of sitting a few pixels out of charge range.
