- properly initialize mSimulationPosition in the constructor. Unlucky thread scheduling can cause processHits to be called before the first simulation run, causing the projectile to vanish to whatever value the variable happens to contains.
- don't continue moving the projectile after a hit. The position would continue to be updated to some senseless value.
- enchanted arrow explode upon hit the water plane
- non enchanted arrow disappear (or more accurately, they hit nothingness)
- enchanted arrow shot underwater explode immediately
- non enchanted arrow disappear immediately
Also, solve a bug that occured previously and could theoritically still happens where we use the last tested collision position for instead of the last registered hit:
Use the hit position as saved inside Projectile::hit() instead of the last position saved inside the callback.
If a projectile collides with several objects (bottom of the sea and water surface for instance), the last collision tested won't necessarily be the impact position as we have no control over the order in which the tests are performed.
collision handling and castRay() to avoid calling getPtr(). It is a step forward
removing the mutex inside of PtrHolder.
Do the same for DeepestNotMeContactTestResultCallback. It is used
only for not-ranged combat for now, but do it anyway for parity with all
other callback. This way, once the PtrHolder mutex is gone one will not
have to worry about wether it is safe to use the callback in a specific
context.
To avoid use-after-free with projectile / projectile collision, defer deletion of projectile.
Since instead of storing a copy of target Ptr we have a pointer to its collision object,
we can't delete projectiles until after we finished iterating over the loops.
imprecision issue with projectile collision detection.
Simplify the mechanics: manage hits in one spot.
Give magic projectiles a collision shape similar in size to their visible
model.
Rename the 2 convex result callback to clearly state their purpose.
When an NPC fire a projectile, it should affect only its targeted actor.
To this end, after a hit is detected the target is checked against the
list of AI targets and reactivated if necessary.
Problem occurs when the hit occurs as a result of a friendly actor going
into the projectile (detected in ClosestNotMeConvexResultCallback):
while the projectile is inside the friend's collision box, it is
deactivated, just to be immediately reactivated. Effectively, the
projectile does nothing until the actor moves out.
Add a check inside the ClosestNotMeConvexResultCallback before declaring
a hit.
Since the necessary data is not safely accessible from the async thread,
maintain a copy inside the Projectile class.
