Openra: RevealOnDeath not functioning for RA Aircrafts

Created on 10 Mar 2018  路  3Comments  路  Source: OpenRA/OpenRA

RevealOnDeath attached to ^PlaneHusk and ^HelicopterHusk (#13878) is not functioning. The feature worked with the playtest0208 and dropped with the release0218.

14804 is a related PR within that time period, altering SpawnActorOnDeath with ^NeutralPlane.

Husks are now spawned as neutral actors, which means that RevealOnDeath works for the Neutral player, not the original owner. The only reasonable way to fix this and #14858 is to revert the change that spawned husks as neutral, reintroducing the husk disappearing on defeat issue. It's this last point that relates to #4706.

[00:32] <+pchote> I don't see a good fix for #14902
[00:32] <+pchote> without breaking husks again
[00:32] <+pchote> or rewriting our player-lost logic
[00:33] <+pchote> although
[00:33] <+pchote> IIRC we have an issue about reverting tech structures to neutral when a player loses
[00:33] <+pchote> I can't find it
[00:34] <+pchote> but we could use that same logic on husks
[00:34] <+pchote> and then that fixes the issues with bounties and vision

That issue is #4706. Can't see the relation though myself.
