Type: weapon projectile collision

Summary: Weapon projectiles sometimes pass through healthy armor blocks and hit devices behind them

Description:
If under fire from legacy (?) ships, their projectiles may sometimes pass through armor blocks and hit devices that should be protected by armor. Happens in Singleplayer as well, so not related to server lag.
Screenshot showing damage to generator (see multitool-tooltip), decimator is above ship.

Steps to Reproduce:
1) set yourself 'gm iv'
2) Spawn a preferably big, well armored ship, fuel it and power it.
3) Spawn a legacy decimator, recommend to switch off its thrusters
4) Set the decimator via console to alien faction
5) Observe internal components taking damage despite armor being still intact

Would add that I hadn't noticed this projectile behavior before 1.7.5, even though there are a lot of stories out there about ''lagshots" from earlier game versions. In this case the issue seems unrelated to lag, as it is reproducible in single player.

 

Oh crap. I just finished removing lagshot from my larger builds.

 

Hmmm. I wonder if this is what happened to my capital ship the other night when I was clearing patrol ships from my sector. One second everything was fine, the next second stuff was exploding internally even though the hull was still intact.

 

Been also hearing that the texture tool is "lag-shotting" through people's builds and painting the wrong blocks. Might be some issue with the block colliders suddenly?

 

Can confirm this one.

 

FYI: This also happens when salvaging with the Multitool. Sometimes the block behind the one you're targetting gets salvaged first.

 

Was just about to make a thread about this. Seems to be random but also kind of goes in spurts for some reason. Sometimes it will just be one block and sometimes I paint a room and find that 1/2 of the next room over has a mosaic of painted blocks. I am pretty sure I have seen it go through multiple blocks too. I will find blocks randomly painted in areas 20-30 blocks away from where I have been painting. Weird.
