Wtf is this?

(click to show/hide)

As you can see when I built this two appeared. and they shot double bullets.  It was just me Spy, Scout, and demo on the team and even if there was another Engi they can't build Sentries on top of each other 

Oh yeah ignore the Demo getting a BJ 

So has this happened to anyone else because I've seen other people with the double sentries

Well screw me over, I used the search to look up "2 Sentries" "Double Sentries" "Two Sentries" and even "Double Autogun"

But not "Siamese Autogun" :c

Well that's a decent excuse so don't feel bad.

Maybe we should be able to "tag" bug report threads.

It's not honestly that big of a deal, really.

We shouldn't honestly try to take out all the design flaws in the game. Some of them actually have a nice little charm to them.

I found the bug, it happens because of desync (as so many other things do.) The following description is for later dev reference so don't worry if it's unclear  .

The client thinks that the autogun is ready and creates the Turret object, but on the server the enemy shot registered before the autogun was actually done and it's deconstructing. With the next QUICK_UPDATE the client is notified that the autogun is not complete, but the turret is not destroyed, so we see both the turret and the deconstruction animation.

When that happens, the autogun won't actually deal damage until it finished constructing on the server, even though it appears to be firing on the client.

I won't fix this for 2.1.2 though, because it requires changes to the networking, and I want 2.1.2 to be compatible with 2.1.1.

A lot of the modders put a lot of work into what they do. He wants to give us a break when the next few updates come out so we don't have to redo all our work just to fix one glitch.

I'm honestly too lazy to find and add 37 sprite sheets of fat men and fat accessories until I can be sure the next update won't be for a while.

Sorry for the strange topic name. It seemed like a proper name to call the phenomenon at the time.

It's okay, it is a better title to call it I'm just not creative enough to think of such a name.

You can tag bug reports on Launchpad. And mark them as dupes of other reports. Using LP doesn't really seem to catch on though
