#4253: trouble attacking features (trees, buildings)
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------
Reporter: Althalus | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: unspecified
Component: other | Version: master but not 3.1
Operating System: All/Non-Specific |
-------------------------------------+--------------------------------
On skirmish maps, asking units to destroy a feature (a tree, for instance)
will cause these units to move somewhere else entirely (and make it almost
impossible to destroy features).
Investigation showed that conversion from ini to json in feature.ini/json
of the skirmish maps puts a wrong value in the 'id' field, which leads to
the game associating the id '0' to all features, and then whenever a unit
is ordered to attack a feature, it tries to find its target by id and
takes the first one that matches.
In the case of structures (from struct.json), there is a check in the
loading code which prevents from assigning a 0 id to the loaded structures
(game.cpp:4797), and it uses instead the id generated by the object
constructor.
So this bug could be fixed by either putting the same check in features
loading (game.cpp:5414), which might or might not be the right thing to
do, or fixing the conflict on the id field in the conversion scripts
(ini2json_save.py, if I'm not mistaken) and re-running the conversion.
