Crossbowdwarves not aiming
« on: May 02, 2010, 12:19:52 am »

Just wondering if anyone else got this. I created a pit to dump goblins in to train my crossbow-using dwarves, but they won't fire at the target. I've got ammunition [wood, bone, and metal] and they've got the crossbow equipped, along with a quiver. All types of ammo are properly set for usage in combat and training but they just won't fire.

Is it because they can't path to the goblin? The pit's entrance is locked.

Edit: Also every time I station him there, when I eventually say 'forget it I'll try something else' they drop another piece of their clothing.

Military bugs are rampant right now. Check out the bug tracker for detailed information.

I've noticed that my own military dwarves love to leave their clothing around. Don't worry about it; you're not causing the problem.

Crossbowdwarves are broken in this version, but if you let them see the goblins up close (AKA melee) then they will be a little less broken.

Crossbowdwarves just won't use the ammunition, it's as simple as that.

Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Seriously? Ugh. All that effort. I wish the combat thing was going to be fixed before the merger.
