Mirage Source

Something weird is going on with blocked tiles in my game. If you are standing next to a blocked tile and spam the direction button towards the block, the client moves you passed the block, yet the server still records your co-ordinates as not moving. I need to figure out what part of my code is causing this, and how I can fix it. any ideas where to start looking?

CanMove, or CanPlayerMove, or whatever, client side.

I'm convinced it's in the CanMove sub, because it is the only client side sub doing BLOCKED_TILE checks. but I have no idea what I'm looking for. Simply pressing the direction buttons in a normal manner doesn't not allow it to happen, it is only after several rapid presses in a row. I have no idea what would be the root cause of something like that.

I think there's a fix already posted. I believe it was called the "Position Modification fix"

From my Valkoria log file... looks like there's a tutorial on MS by... me O.o
Not that I remember writing it... should be around somewhere though
030. FIXED: Position Modification (Tutorial on MS by Dave)

can't seem to find it, I've looked in the old tut's directory and I've searched the forums. If you can find the old tutorial or remember what it was to fix it I would appreciate it. The only thing I can possibly think of to fix this damn thing is to restrict the number of key presses, but that might flub up another part of MS and wouldn't fix the root of the problem.

EDIT: Ok, I figured out the problem. apparently in the tutorial for realtime stats it tells you to send a stats packet every time you move. someone spamming the button is overloading the server with these packets and causing something to go out of sync. I've removed that part of the code and it's all fixed!

Also I've fixed the NPC's moving through blocks. for some reason the NPC CanMove code is set to defaulted true. I set it defaulted to false and only true when they are allowed to move, and it solves the problem.
