Cataclysm-dda: Gibed monster meat breaks things.

Created on 3 Oct 2018  路  6Comments  路  Source: CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA

Describe the bug
When monsters gibs upon death the flying meat can break windows, benches, and maybe vehicles.
A reddit user pointed this out. I was able to confirm that gibs break windows and benches.
The parts do make a sound indicating that something was hit.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Debug 50 strength, Krav Maga.
  2. Spawn a turkey next to a window and kill it.
  3. Repeat until gib meat breaks the window.

Expected behavior
I don't think gibbed monster bits should break anything.
If this is intended behavior, that's fine and I'll delete the issue.

Screenshots
This is my attempt. I tried blowing the turkey up next to the kitchen terrain but moved to the window when that didn't work. I used a mop to clean up the window so it would be clear that it's broken.

I'm not sure if this intended or not, but it is hilarious.

No, that seems reasonable. When you're hitting something hard enough that it explodes into pieces, it's not at all strange that those flying pieces might break fragile things. Put another way, it's expected behaviour that the Hulk can punch a turkey through a plate glass window.

The fact that it's also _hilarious_ is beside the point.

I just feel like no mere mortal can have enough power to smack something so hard, the gibs have enough kinetic energy to blow glass up, but yeah, this is great.

I'm with @Endovior in that i think glass could be seen as reasonable. I can totally see gibs breaking windows when i think about chopping wood or stones with chisels and having things shoot away. The force can totally be there with normal strength and like a sledgehammer or a axe. However crushing benches or damaging a shopping cart, i don't think i buy that.

No mere mortal has the power to punch anything aside from a bug so hard that it gibs either :P.
