Andor's Trail

i have noticed on occasion that when entering a battle if the status effect is still animating (the little explosion and floating number) then it freezes mid animation. it only seems to last the first round or until hit for damage.
I have been able to reproduce this but getting the timing correct is difficult.
i has happened with both bleeding wounds and shadow regen.

there is no impact on gameplay however for polish on the "final product" i feel it should be addressed.

is anyone else noticing this bug?

I think this is probably the same bug

The status animation is handled in it's own subroutine, and that sub can be interrupted... I've noticed this happening once or twice, but yes, it is really hard to get the timing right

thanks for the quick reply phydeaux. i did wonder about that however the thread didn't seem quite the correct one for the issue.
is was definately a toss up between posting there and starting a new thread.

I think these bugs belong together, but they are not the same. The bug you are mentioning is abut incorrect calculation of the number that is showed in the animation and this one here, that btw I have also seen, is about interrupting this animation.

So this subroutine should not be interruptable Don't know if there are resources to put them in an own thread or something ...

Actually, it is the same problem, just different manifestations... Meaning the subroutine needs to be re-vamped... But it's not really a bug, because it doesn't cause a calculation error... Shadow save me, I need to teach myself java... But this one's an easy fix, just needs a redraw at beginning of fight(easy way), or a hand-off (hard way, but more polished)... The other one needs a bit more...
