I wonder if this extends to all “on successful dodge” talents and blessings. I would imagine they all draw from the same bit of code for activation?).

@gpkgpk any code magic you’d be happy to do here to see what’s causing this/how many things it affects?

Many of Zealot’s “on dodge” talents don’t work with dodging non-chaff ranged attacks. It’s been that way since patch 13. Second Wind, for example, doesn’t generate toughness from dodging gunners. However, Vet’s “on dodging ranged attack” talents don’t have this restriction.

You know, I have had that issue with the gunner not generating toughness and I had figured it was a balance issue, but I felt that this is kind of what the dance with death perk would be for. I can still utilize other enemies to activate the perk, but I imagine this would be the most useful application, at least for me. I am not a headshot maniac, so I can see it being useful for people who actually good at fps otherwise if this isn’t a bug.

Good to know vet’s dodging doesn’t have this restriction.

Thanks.

Ok looked at it briefly. There’s appears to be a few different things going on, as usual take with a grain of salt or 10, and I may be oversimplifying.

Some shots are handled a bit differently, e.g. sniper shot, and while it adds a “on_ranged_dodge” proc event, it goes down a different code path starting with bt_sniper_shoot_action.
Sniper doesn’t appear to have a path that leads to Dodge.successful_dodge being called, but Trapper, Shooters/Shotgunners and Gunners do (and some others).

And while Gunners and Shooters+Shotgunners have a generic path in code that handles different types of attacks, bt_shoot_action.lua: in function ‘_update_strafe_shooting’ is for these guys. The difference being Gunner don’t have a “dodge_window” (action_data.dodge_window, shoot_dodge_window) so it doesn’t trigger an “on_successful_dodge”, whereas little Shooters+Shotgunners do.

There’s a difference between “on_ranged_dodge” and “on"successful_dodge” proc events for triggering talents and blessings, so Vet gaining stam is on “on_ranged_dodge” as listed, but crits on dodge is on “on_successful_dodge” (as listed) so the same caveats as previously mentioned apply, melee and some ranged attacks proc it whereas snipers/gunners shouldn’t.

I’m guessing these things, the Sniper shots and nil dodge_window attacks like Gunners are by design? Who knows really…

P.S. Interestingly, dodging a shooter ranged shot in minion_attack.lua _handle_shoot_dodge is tagged as a melee attack after a check vs ranged is done, probably just a copyPaste oversight, it may only have reporting benign consequences.
P.P.S. Note successful typos , 1 ‘c’ vs 2 are in the code, not mine. Keep that in mind when searching.
P.P.P.S. other than Vet stam on_ranged_dodge, most everything else seems to be “on_successful_dodge”
