Bows interrupt movement
« on: August 21, 2022, 08:31:11 pm »
(I am sure it is the case, anyway)
Sometimes an enemy tries to reaction fire with an arcing weapon, but can't find trajectory and doesn't fire as a result. This interrupts your soldier movement, which feels strange and gives a kind of advantage to the player.
A save is attached. It is probably a rare case in vanilla, but a regular one on some maps in Piratez or Chronicles.
I could have a look myself, but intuition says that the fix will probably require changing signature of several methods, which wold better be handled by OpenXcom authors.

Not sure if this is worth fixing.

It might create more problems than it solves.

I'll keep it open, low prio.
