It wont't appear in the same situation. Even the situation will not appear in the game any more. But the bug is there.
I try to explain it again. This bug is a difference between soldiers from a militarysite and a headquarter(and i think from a warehouse too). Bug #531037 only triggered this one. Bug #531037 was a wrong pop_task inside task_defense. This causes a different behavior for the "two types of soldiers": Soldiers from a militarysite return to their building. Soldiers without a militarysite disappear but exist in the worker list of their building. I had a look at the code again and I think it's the following problem: A soldier launched from a militarysite has a task "buildingwork" and then task "attack" or "defense". Soldiers launched from a headquarter (or warehouse?) only have task "defense". If pop_task is called in the first case task "buildingwork" takes the solider home (or to a warehouse). In the second case the solider is forever at his last position without any task (But he is a worker of his building). Either calling pop_task without being home or something with the sending of soldiers from a headquarter is wrong. I am not completely familiar with the task system but I think pop_task should no be called if the worker is not at his building. I can imagine at least on situation where this could happen: If you attack near a headquarter and the headquarter disappears while some soldiers defend it they would disappear because of this bug. -- Idle military people https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530646 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Widelands Developers, which is subscribed to widelands.
