WORST BUG EVER

I can verify that it is completely poss and is the worst bug in EE.
It touch the immediate item under the block that is in front of the boost, it means that the bug is very OP.

It ruins a lot of things for switch systems and the purpose of boosts in general.
Some additional information: https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewt … 39#p784539
Note.1: It does not matter the way you build it, the bug persists always:

Note.2: Its "strength" depends on the keys you press

Re: WORST BUG EVER

Yeah, it's a bug with the physics that was depended on by many levels so I couldn't really fix it. I made sure to design the EEU physics engine in a way that wouldn't have those sorts of problems though.

Re: WORST BUG EVER

I am still not sure what triggers it tho, it looks that is not random, something causes it
(And it seems that it can be prevented but not quite sure how)

Clearly you werent around when we could stick to the bottom of blocks by holding space

Re: WORST BUG EVER

It's to do with the timings of when you hit the sideways boost compared to when you leave the block (as in at what offset within a tick).

There's a problem with a lot of physics engines where if you move across a gap in a single frame (so one frame you're standing on the left side, and the next you're standing on the right) you act as if the gap isn't there. EE works around this bug by acting almost as if the block isn't there for the last frame you're against it, which lets you fall into one block gaps but also causes some other weird bugs in other situations. At low speeds this is almost unnoticable, but at higher speeds such as in boosts you start running into problems (and it makes other related issues more noticable), I believe this is what causes this issue along with a lot of the other problems with boosts.

I'm not completely sure how you'd go about preventing it, but I'd assume it would be something like tweaking blocks and arrows and things to make sure the player enters at a 'good' timing which wouldn't trigger the issue.

Re: WORST BUG EVER

Hell, I remember when this used to be possible:

You get through by jumping without releasing Space, then going right.

This is in EE CM, a old but still active clone, last time I tried it in EE I could no longer do it.
