    |
|
I think this is a bug that noone has found before.
Ok, I have a bunch of sectors that look like this:
| Code: | _____________________
| | |
| | |
| 1 | 2 |
| | |
|_________|_________|
| |
| |
| P |
|___________________| |
All adjoined. The P is the player, facing exactly north.
Sectors 1 and 2 both have INF with the sector entered trigger. The INF is two doors (not pictureed) swinging closed with morph_spin1. An edge of each door is in contact with the outer wall.
If the player starts and moves north straight, without turning, he will enter both sectors at the exact same time and trigger them. Dark Forces will display a bunch of WARNING: OBJECT ... error messages which disappear because the screen is redrawn and the game runs fine! (Can't redirect the ourput, as it as stderr output.)
You may be thinking "So move it away from the wall."
But the error doesn't occur when I enter one sector at a time (!) Hmm...

That's interesting... I know if the player is directly on the line between two sectors, and pushes against a wall they both use, you will get instant HOMing...

Sounds interesting, do you mind posting a small showcase to demonstrate?

Here, have fun. Just walk forward to trigger it. Don't turn or anything, or you won't step onto the adjoin, and you won't create the error.
