Advanced combat doctrines locking onto friendly players

Issue Description (Required):

I THINK smoke grenade is making the targetting go insane on “advanced combat doctrine” my auto targetting reticle was locking onto team mates instead of enemies - that is the only thing I can figure out that would make sense as to why my reticle was targetting team mates. It refused to lock onto enemies.

Steps to Reproduce (Required):

play with a smoke grenade vet as a skitarii

@FatsharkLev updating this. It is not smoke grenade causing the issue, I ran into again without anyone running smoke grenade in the group

for whatever reason advanced combat doctrines is losing its mind and randomly targetting friendly players

Okay i have a GUESS at what may be causing this, I think because my build has me turning advanced combat doctrines off and on and off and on quickly sometimes it seems to be bugging out and targetting team mates… Man I cannot begin to tell you how infuriating this bug is O_O

rips my entire ammo count away from a target that I am aiming at perfectly and unloads it into my team mates who are slightly on screen.

Appreciate the update @Ryshek! We’re looking into players being targeted, so I’ve shared this info with the team. Much appreciated.

You’d think i’m triggering this on purpose at this point, but it’s miserable. It seems to be caused by holding down fire on an automatic weapon while advanced combat doctrines expires OR it seems to possibly have something to do with switching to a melee weapon while firing with advanced combat doctrines on - it is really hard to tell.

Tagging my post to this one, seeing it when using phosphor blaster and seems to be related to server skulls, resolution for me is picking up grenades when server skulls are depleted.

Advanced combat doctorines targeting friendlies

Issue Type (Required): Talents Issue Description (Required): When coupling advance combat doctorines and artificer servo skull, it seesm that when the last servo skull is deployed (or maybe after a res is used, I can’t work out which) the targeting switches from enemies to strike team allies, until more grenades are pciked at which point it resets. This is really annoying as it basically renders the advanced combat doctorines almost unusable until more grenades can be found, which can sometimes…

[Ryshek]

It’s possible that’s what it is…? some sort of a combination of purgator servo skull deployment while advanced combat doctrines is up? I legit cannot figure out the combination that is triggering it.. i’m sure given enough time I will.

This is my build if it helps

@mint_dulip @FatsharkLev

Verified and reproduceable in the psykanium (despite having no friendlies to target, you lose the ability to target enemies with advanced combat doctrines)

Using all 5 servo skulls, turning ACD on, off and on again results in the broken behavior.

Image shows ACD is running but will not target enemies, it would target friendlies if present.

looking back at my old screen shots, I was at zero servo skulls in all of them.

Thanks for the added information here! I’ve shared this with our QA team and we’ll do some diggin’

[Ryshek]

This bug is still present… @FatsharkLev dunno how it slipped past the last patch but it’s still happening

Thanks for the update! I’ve given this issue a nudge internally.
