1. You stand on the CP and nothing happens.

or

2. You don't stand on the CP and it captures itself.

or

3. You stand on the CP and it captures itself for the other team

It's happening on the Simple Series server right now...

[Blazephlozard]

CPs are horribly glitched. There's a 1-in-10 chance or so of them becoming uncappable.
Nothing can be done about it really, just play deathmatch style until the time runs out. Shame that it's happening on cp_simple, since that "map" is barely fun WITH an objective.

[Silent Boom]

  I just got burned

[NAGN]

It's a terrible map.

Anyways, it has something to do with the collision on the server, I'm not to sure how it works, all I know is that it works in Begin Step in the Server only (The only things that are syncronized are when you capture it)

What I do know is that when it glitches out, the server detects the other team only for capturing (as in the final point in egypt on Blus side, suddenly red can't cap, but Blue Can for an impossible reason)

I'll go look in the source

[NAGN]

Huh.

So it uses collision_point

I'm sure that there's some kind of reason for this rather than if place_meeting, but I'm not aware

[Blazephlozard]

If it's only synced on the server's side, might it be possible for a server host to run a mod preventing CP glitches?
I don't understand all this sync stuff 

[Silent Boom]

Devs, fix this

[NAGN]

Devs, fix this

If a solution was that easy then they would have fixed it already.

I'm pretty sure they were aware of the glitch, that's the reason why we have CP synchronization today

If it's only synced on the server's side, might it be possible for a server host to run a mod preventing CP glitches?
I don't understand all this sync stuff 

Well actually yes, but someone would have to figure out how to prevent them

Recode CP from scratch. It's really, really simple.

Wareya should do it with his prodigous just-a-number IQ.

[Psychopath]

Recode CP from scratch. It's really, really simple.

So....why hasn't it been done, then? If you know how to fix it, just make it and submit it on the dev's irc since you idle there now :V

[NAGN]

Um recode it from scratch?

And what alternative method would you suppose? Basically it detects the collision and chooses the nearest control point...

What we could do is rid of the capture zones and just have a consisted bounding box around the point, however, that ruins much of the flexibility

[a/d]

I remember trying 180>=point_direction(x,y,ControlPoint1.x,ControlPoint1.y)>=0 and distance_to_object<=40 or something.

How did you make a topic here

omg
You're right.
