Ctrl+K abuse

[PhilipJFryFAF]

By ctrl+k-ing a unit with a long death animation (t3 power generator/Paragon/etc) you can avoid taking damage on the unit wreck thus saving the wreck.

Easiest example would be a nuke hitting a paragon but the wreck staying alive due to the ctrl+k abuse -> which leaves the player with an intact para wreck (200k mass worth).

Replay of the exploit in the 3684 patch.

this is glorious exploit (well done philip !); and extremely game breaking.

@Garanas this still posible ?

[speed2CZ]

It should be possible to keep counting the damage while the death animation plays

[Garanas]

Yep, this is still happening. And Speed is right - we can fix it by keeping track of the damage.

[speed2CZ]

Worst case scenario could be losing the damage on the tick when the unit is turned into the wreck. But that's just a maybe and it would be pretty hard to time correctly.

[Garanas]

That is so precise - if someone manages to do that then they deserve it.
