Is there a bug that allows people to shoot through palisade?

[Agasi]

Just wondering about my personal safety and all.
I'm not looking to learn how.

Nope. there's no way to shoot trough a palisade or brick walls. You're safe within your walls. but remember than one can use a catapult to throw some rocks at your stuff. And beware of grenades. they can be thrown above walls.

Trolling aside, you can shoot through any type of wall or terrain and it is not really a bug.

My assumption that walls supposedly protected from projectiles was wrong then.
Good to know, thanks.

Prods Op to look up "Ballistic Arc"

also, remember that you can also attack others by melee/ua through walls, if you both are close enough to the walls.
loftar confirmed that the other day, its not the objects/walls that protect you from being hit, but the distance.

Would someone go test this "being too close the wall" and add it to the wiki?

[Patchouli_Knowledge]

I can confirm that you can actually melee someone through a wall, though the position and distance is very specific to work.

In that pic, i stabbed and killed him through the wall. In world 5 we had semi-regular fights through walls with NNN

for whomever wants the exact words by loftar for editing wiki.

03:57 Tonky > id understand for bows, but with ua/melee, i never expected that
03:57 loftar > Well, combat simply ignores obstacles.
03:57 Satou > YAY!!
03:57 loftar > I wouldn't say that it's an explicit intention, but it's how it is. It hasn't bothered me a lot, at least. :)
03:57 DDDsDD999 > Tonky, you have to be pretty close to the wall.
03:57 Tonky > awww okay, so it is how it is
03:58 DDDsDD999 > It's pretty difficult to accidently get attacked, so...
03:58 Tonky > is it?
03:58 Vladimir_Putin > I have magical powers to shoot lighting at you
03:58 DDDsDD999 > No putin babby.
03:58 DDDsDD999 > Wizard armour.
03:58 loftar > Well, I mean, all you have to do to avoid it is to remove yourself from immediate contact with a wall, so I don't really see that it would be a problem. :)
03:59 Tonky > ah i see
03:59 Tonky > so as long as you arent too close to the walls, you cant hit someone through walls by ua/melee, right?
03:59 loftar > It's merely the distance between players that counts.
03:59 Tonky > i see, ty for clarifying this
04:00 loftar > IIRC, the allowed distance is 15, whereas most walls are 11 wide.
04:00 DDDsDD999 > 15 what? I assume distance ticks is what you call it? Or just pixels?
04:00 loftar > Well, "map pixels", as I have taken to call them.
04:01 loftar > The atomic coordinate units for objects. :)
04:01 loftar > I'd argue one is approximately 1 dm, but I don't think that matters a lot. :)
