Specialist Airdrop Bug still present 3 months later

Post by trihero »

I reported this bug back in February:

http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB ... rop#p33429

It is still around in v 1.3.

The bug: If you airdrop (specialist skill that awards 1 grenade) a grenadier who has 4 empty inventory slots, the grenadier receives no grenades. This is extremely easily reproducible.

I do not know the root cause. I have successfully airdropped a grenadier who has multiple grenades in the inventory slots to begin with, and I have successfully airdropped other classes, but there is definitely something wrong when you airdrop a grenadier who starts the mission with 4 empty inventory slots.

Did some debugging and managed to find the issue. The grenadier does receive the grenade, but there's some dancing around the fact that LaunchGrenade and ThrowGrenade are different abilities. The game doesn't add either ability when you loadout with no grenades, so even though the unit does get the grenade in it's inventory, it lacks any ability to actually use it.

Working on a fix to add the ability when the first grenade is air dropped.
