[fixed] MegaGlest 3.5.0 beta 2 - bug with morph
« on: 20 April 2011, 09:35:19 »
When a few Summoners stay close
If i order they summon a Drake,
only a few morph into a Drake Rider,
although whith resources all right.
And i get the message "Position is invalid"
(the same number of Summoners which do not morph into a Drake Rider).
But if they are standing at a distance from each other, no problem.

This is a long known issue for morphing units which, after morphing, increase size. Since they would overlap after morphing, they refuse to morph. This is the same for techs morphing to catapults or battle machines, as well as some other units, too.

Would be nice if it gave a friendlier message like "%s needs more room to morph." or something other than the recycled invalid position, which is rather vague.

For now, just make sure you have enough space for your units to morph...yes it's very annoying but the best thing you can do for now. It's kinda like when you're trying to build something somewhere, and then one of your or your allies' units stands in the way...and etc.

True.
