BUG: Floating mines and homing shots (Mantis won't let me post)

[Mánagarmr]

Sorry for putting this here, but Mantis keeps giving me an "Invalid security token" error.

In all rooms containing the floating mines (not the stationary ones), homing shots will track invisible spots. It does this even if there are live enemies still nearby. If the invisible spot is closer, then the shot will track that instead of the enemy.

Thanks for the report! This has actually already been fixed for the next build. Cheers!

Edit: oh, you found the Smart Gun? What do you think of it?

It's good, but the tradeoff is that you don't have a lot of spread, not a lot of say in what it hits. But once you start really abusing shooting around corners it's pretty nice! Very good in combo with high damage pickups.

Cool, thanks for the feedback!

I found a gun like that once, it fired a spread of 3 purple bullets, IIRC.  I was not a fan, but I think that's because it didn't home properly.  The first couple of times I fired it, the shots went about an inch (size of my mech) and stopped.  Not quite like the video, but not far off.

They also liked embedding themselves in walls, like they had wall-penetration, but would never actually get to the enemy they homed in on.

I never got any screenshots of the wonky behavior, however, because every time I went to try, it worked Just Fine.

Hmmm...was this recently? Sounds like the Hunter Killer. I recently (within a build or two I think) improved this so that it works a lot better. From the sounds of it you were using the old version, so this should be improved now. I think...

Probably was, I think there've been 3 updates between just my last play and the run last night.  I don't recall how many runs prior I found that gun.

Is mantis letting you post now?  It should be okay now.

Yeah, the new version should be much improved now.

Good to know, I haven't seen it since (or prior for that matter!)

I see a bunch of guns all the time, but there's a handful I've seen once ever.

Yes, it works. Didn't give me any issues this time.
