[Beta 6] 'Will leave an ally' warning incorrect.
« on: May 18, 2018, 10:35:50 AM »

Sometimes before exiting a level I'll get a warning about leaving an ally when all of my allies are within exit's range.

Picture in the attachment. I waited a few turns and no warning appeared when these same 4 mutants were in exit's range.

Attached a save where 4 allies are outside exit's range but warning mentions only 3 of them.

EDIT: Further tests show that the distance for warning is measured from Cogmind rather than from an exit. In practice the allies come if they are close to exit (not necessarily close to Cogmind).

Actually in all cases the distance is measured from Cogmind's position, never using the exit position itself. But seeing as the visualization is centered on the exit, it should probably obey that instead for consistency :P (currently both the warning and transfer check on exiting are based on player position)

But but but... I just tested it and only 3 allies were in my range, 4 in exit's range and 4 followed me (I got warned about 1 ally being outside the range).

Yes but the behavior was consistent internally--it always uses your position, which happens to be on the exit once you're exiting :P

But yeah, this is fixed for Beta 7, thanks. In Beta 6 the highlight is always accurate, but the message can be wrong in some cases.
