going underwater

Postby lemonade » Wed Dec 22, 2004 11:34 am

Don't really know if this is a bug, but camera can go under water. Normally when clicking squads don't go to water, but when under water they go (and surprisedly) they die.

Maybe this isn't a bug, but it's very odd feature.

I noticed this also as I told the squad to walk over to that other island...and then thought "hey, they can swim!" where soon after they died

Engineers hover over the water so they don't drown, it could just be an unfinished feature and would be improved as AI and pathfinding are improved.

Officers have always been able to swim... is there information about as to what units can/cannot enter the water?

Darwinians can try to cross water but they will drown eventually.

This seems to be fixed in 4d.

I've had a similar thing, but every so often I could get bits of a squad over onto the third island by walking.
