Title: [BUG] [PLAYER] "Reflected" miners fall through bridge without penetrating it.
Post by: Crane on August 10, 2016, 06:00:41 PM

(NOTE: When I say "reflect", I mean turned by a Blocker while performing an action)

If a miner is mining down a bridge previously built by a builder and encounters a blocker during a downward swing, the lemming will turn around without breaking through the bridge and then fall below it.  This might be a gimmick or an exploit, but is very odd and counter-intuitive.

To reproduce:

- Have a builder build a bridge up to an obstruction (so that Lemming turns around)
- Have a second lemming become a blocker while walking up the bridge.
- Have a lemming mine down the bridge (usually the original builder after turning around)
- Upon striking the blocker, the miner will turn around and then fall below the bridge.

Note: This was observed with the miner turning around upon its downward stroke.  It is not known if the same behaviour occurs if the miner is turned at another point in its cycle.

Level and replay will be attached shortly.

This should already be fixed in the exp-version. Nepster, Simon and I discovered this glitch when we met up.

EDIT: Found the topic: http://www.lemmingsforums.net/index.php?topic=2575.0   :)

Yes, it is fixed in the experimental version.
