Odd bug - picture included

Post by cajuncook »

I did this one after countless hours of playing DeathBall. I don't think this affects gameplay ... at all... however it is something interesting. I've resized and saved as JPG to keep loading time down. My uploads sucks.

Notice the goal scored line. Interesting, eh?

What happened:
I had the ball, and I was a few meters in front of the defender. There was no keeper since I was screwing around with the bots. I shot the ball at a relatively low speed, and then stopped to turn around and run back the other way because I knew it would be a goal. Instead, the defender boosted me over the ball and into the net without the ball having arrived. I decided to stay around and grab the ball as it came into the net. Keep in mind I was inside the net.
What I think happened was that the ball never crossed the line, but I received the ball because the radius touched my player. I was actually holding the ball inside of the net. I pushed my left mouse button, shot the ball, and it was a goal.

So to recap - shot, boost, cajuncook in the goal, ball goes to me inside of goal, but it isn't a goal yet. I shoot. Goal. Get that message.

Neat, eh? :) I'll see if I can reproduce it and walk across the line backwards. ;)

If this has been reported before, sorry.

Um, perhaps you're not reading the line.

It says "Ball was flying for 0.00 seconds and 0.00 meters! (-1.#Jm/s)"

and if you want to recreate it, what will happen, is you will walk out of the net without scoring. Then when you walk through it again, it will score.

M'kay, well, as said before, sorry for reporting something that's already been known as there.

no problem.. its still a fun bug to see... I like the versions that use "bounce" to send the ball in in .00 seconds at a distance, I've got some screenshots of infm/s as well as the one you got...

yar, thats why no1 playes the live map anymore... all you do is sit in the net (cause you cant be hit by the keep back there) and pass the ball through the net at a slow speed which will make it go through the net and into the goal. tap fire, bam. Easiest goal ever.

Um, that's the gayest shit ever, that's why I don't like playing on November in league matches or any matches at all.
