ADRENAL DRIP NOT WORKING?

Hi,
is anybody else other than gordon and I having issues with adrenal drip not working. on some maps it works. Others it doesn't. A couple of maps when i use any vampiric weapon i notice it doesn't work. is this normal. because if so, i don't think adrenal drip is worth having.
any input is useful

not working again, 6/22 boom boom bridge.

i dont think it's the weapon that is causing it. if any weapon would cause it, i would guess it would be a draining or energy, but we have to test that out first. just keep a record of when it happens, time and map.

yea sometimes is doesn't work. i've noticed in on several occasions

fyi. its because of the alt-fire on the redeemer. it doesnt happen on some maps but that is the cause if it ever stops. you have to die for it to restart. this info is referred in another post and also passed on to Mysterial. If Dru can do anything about it, then that would be great but it sounds like something in the RPG code itself that is causing it.

I can sometimes get it to reactivate by going the the magic weapon maker, or max magic modifier and trigger them (without enough adrenaline).

Not a great kludge, but it works

it sounds like there is a if(controller==None) somewhere in the addrenalin drip code

Yup, although how it's triggering I cant imagine. In Ut2004RPG.AdrenRegenInv
Code:

 function Timer()
 {
 	local Controller C;
 
 	if (Instigator == None || Instigator.Health <= 0)
 	{
 		Destroy();
 		return;
 	}
 
 	C = Instigator.Controller;
 	if (C == None && Instigator.DrivenVehicle != None)
 		 C = Instigator.DrivenVehicle.Controller;
 	if (C == None)
 	{
 		Destroy();
 		return;
 	}
 
 	if (!Instigator.InCurrentCombo() && !HasActiveArtifact())
 	{
 		C.AwardAdrenaline(RegenAmount);
 	}
 }

Somehow when you're a nuke it must be checking the wrong thing.

Did someone say it's already been reported to Mysterial?

this is from the redeemer alt fire im not gonna copy and paste it all in here
Code:

     if (Warhead != None)
     {
 		Warhead.OldPawn = Instigator;
 		Warhead.PlaySound(FireSound);
 		Possessor = PlayerController(Instigator.Controller);
 		Possessor.bAltFire = 0;
 		if ( Possessor != None )
 		{
 			if ( Instigator.InCurrentCombo() )
 				Possessor.Adrenaline = 0;
 			Possessor.UnPossess();
 			Instigator.SetOwner(Possessor);
 			Instigator.PlayerReplicationInfo = Possessor.PlayerReplicationInfo;
 			Possessor.Possess(Warhead);
 		}
 		Warhead.Velocity = Warhead.AirSpeed * Vector(Warhead.Rotation);
 		Warhead.Acceleration = Warhead.Velocity;
 		WarHead.MyTeam = Possessor.PlayerReplicationInfo.Team;
     }

Maybe your health as a deemer is 0?

if its in the inventory of the "oldpawn" it wont have a controller just a motionless pawn out in the middle of nowhere like an out of body expirence as a nucular missile o.o

But it doesn't remove the controller from the old pawn, so I'm guessing the reference would still be in place.

the "Possessor.UnPossess();" removes the controller from the pawn

Code:

	PlayerReplicationInfo = None;
 	SetOwner(None);
 	Controller = None;

aaaa.

I guess I could fix this in DruidsRPG by overriding these classes... Maybe I'll contact Mysterial first and see if he's planning ot fix it soon.

Yes, I pm'd them directly. they said they'll look into it. but i dont think they have this threads information.
