Renegade stays in his group
Reviewed, WishlistPublic

Description

I'm pretty sure renegade (player with rating < 0) was "kicked off" his group ('and then belonged to grpnull), bfore this version.
Now, this player stays in his group (and can have the leader (new actual) icon displayed).
And , by the way, as every unit of a group knowsabout at max (4) other the units of this group, the knowsabout at renegade remains at 4 till the death!

Renegade should not belong to any group.

Hello,

thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately we were not able to reproduce this bug. Would it be possible that you send us a repro mission for this issue or perhaps a video of this happening?

Thank you

Repro steps provided work for me, although I'm not sure if renegade units have ever been kicked out of their group.

Ceeeb, you're probably right but this could be corrected.

razazel. I added a video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmSHiGjYjRk
I don't understand the difficulty you have to reproduce: Edit a group, become a renegade (kill fellows or addrating -10000) check the group you're belonging to (and how the group leader knowsabout you).

The weird side is the consequences of that:

  • you're in enemyside (enemy to all units) but in your group,
  • Your group knowsabout you at max (4), every time, everywhere!,
  • you know where the leader is, because you're keeping icons (not shown on video. I forgot to enable the game setting for icons).

A [player] join grpnull, or something like that, seems to me a good idea.

Thanks for the repro, I will look into this.
