Flying Saucer Floating Bug
Mon, 2009-11-09 13:20
I noticed that once you initiate the flying saucer and not hitting any direction. The saucer will just float mid air without consuming fuel. Also, if you maintain a zero gravity no velocity balance while flying and reinitiate a new flying saucer it will also float. You could use weapons while floating. If your turn finishes, the direction where the hog is heading will resume.
Here is the demo: http://www.hedgewars.org/node/1836

Not reallly a bug.
I deliberately setup the hover that way (using hog's upward velocity).
I guess you could argue I should use some other value to determine when to trigger hover, such as checking for touching the ground on initiating the saucer, but didn't seem a big deal.
If bugs people, can switch it though.
As for using weapons while hovering, that is definitely deliberate and known. Not sure why you feel it is necessary to prevent that.

I see if it was intended. But why not make hovering consume fuel at a low rate? but then I am being too realistic. xD
