[Klonan] [0.18.4] Construction bot becomes invisible while repairing something

Post by traycer »

Construction bots temporarily disappear while they are repairing an entity. The glow and sparks remain visible, but the sprite of the robot itself is invisible.

[0.18.4] Construction Robot missing "working" property

Post by billbo99 »

Something changed for "Construction Robot" in 0.18.4 and the "working" property for RotatedAnimation has been removed.


I am told the WIKI is a little out of date, but in the 0.18.4 release notes there was no mention of this property being removed.

Was it accidently removed with some of the sound updates ?

This coud be related to my post .. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=80985

The ".working" property that sets the animation for the bots while busy appears to have been removed.

Can't reproduce with modded construction bots that define their own .working property from scratch - they are behaving normally in 0.18.4 - so it's not that the property has been removed.

However the vanilla bots seem to have nothing defined for that property (or something that produces an empty sprite) and become invisible when working on something.

sounds like a perfect use case for some unit regression tests to be implemented that will catch these errors before being committed to the master branch.
