Hello all,
A player cited an issue with the Dock Guard in Port Brahma resetting and becoming impassable after migrating to another map. Here is the RCA and resolution for the issue:
Cause:
- A local flag ("Switch" in the engine) was set after the inventory check for the Ships Ticket when the player engaged the Dock Guard
- The Guard moved and a check for the local flag would render only dialogue if the initial interaction already proceeded.
- Moving to another map reset the position of the Guard without resetting the local flag properly, so it would not allow another check for Ship Tickets to move the guard.
Resolution:
- The initial interaction (upon success) now sets a reserved, global flag to check if the player has already had this interaction
- The Guard object now becomes deleted and a dialogue-only object is generated in his place off to the side.
- The Trigger location for departing has also been moved further up the dock to save you guys a few steps ;-)
Sorry for the inconvenience on this, fortunately I was able to get this done before my lunch break was over! (Who needs to eat anyways, right? lol). Please be on the lookout for the update in the next 10-15 mins. You may need to restart Steam to see the update request come in.
Thank you all!
