This bug is the same as here, but this thread is closed (don't know why) and very old: http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=734&highlight=Shells+selected Sometimes there are friendly soldiers or canon-shells targeted with a red box (like enemy units). It happened about three times until now and I don't have any idea why. As far as I remember it disappears when a new map starts. Does anybody know something more about it? Here are some screens I've taken (It happend a few seconds before the first one):
Well, it's hell lot of useful! Now you use all your ammo to kill the thing hitting you.. Well, it happens a few times everymap. But, as the missile just goes BLAM! it doesn't really matter so much.
I think it has something to do with network lag and information between the client and the server getting fubar-ed. I have experenced this too, I think refuseing orders clears it up.
i have this bug too. and sometimes the red box marks nothing ... theres just a red box in the air or somewhere in the ground. can be really annoying.
I have this too, i even had worse bug, i got killed by "marked" missle and when i spawned I was marked :/
I had this bug too on emp_streetsoffire, and I think it had to do with the commander selecting targets in that area. I was just throwing a grenade and it suddendly got a target box t, then I tried again and it didn't happen... the next time it happened exactly with the "Attack this target!" command... Here's a screenshot:
Xroads, nf loosing. Half of thrown nades were marked , as well as my squad leader ;s . Happens often when using arty , once i had all screen covered in red boxes on canyon when nf was finishing be.
Hmm, have you ever seen 2 shells collide and blow each other up? now that's cool Only seen it happen once in an artillery fight on Crossroads though.
