This Has to be Fixed, Hiding in Buildings.
« on: October 23, 2022, 04:49:52 PM »
This game glitch has got to be fixed, otherwise it will kill the game. On 1 certain terrain tile, the 3 story building in the villages can be entered with a gv. While it is not something you can just drive into, it can still be accessed relatively easily. While the individual is in the building, they can see out and shoot with out being seen. If you happen to be looking and see the muzzle flash, you know they are there, however the only way to kill them is to bomb the building. We have a few of the best gv'ers in the game utilizing this glitch, when confronted they argue its part of the game, any one can use it. Like it or not, agree or not, its wrong and it is gaming the game.

As a map maker it is easy to avoid the problem, I just do not use that tile near any base as I create a new map. Unfortunately we have fjordma, bowlma, craterma, & etoma that have this tile in use.

There let the Flames begin.

in aces high 2 that was considered a tactic and we used it all the time. i can still remember shooting down planes with a tank, that couldnt see me in a building. it was great fun.
in thursday night tank fights i blow up the city and guys get into the destroyed buildings and shot out of them. also a tactic. they die quickly, but its part of the fun!

Post screenshots so we as a community know how to find them now. Nothing is going to get fixed so rather expose the glitch and it will be easy Pickens  :salute

I'm not talking about getting into destroyed buildings, I'm talking about working your way into an existing fully upright building in the remote villages. AH2 is a different story all together, we could hide in the Indestructible, and inside destroyed buildings. Also don't forget the barns.

In AH3 building interiors are only accessible when destroyed, or at least until this glitch was discovered. I believe it has something to do with the routine that gets gv's unstuck from trees.


Merv, there is no way to find them unless you see the muzzle flash of the gun(s).

yes but an overhead view screenshot with town nearby in view would help to find it along with a screenshot of the building itself.

I played in AH2, this is NOTHING like AH2. In AH2 your were allowed to access destroyed buildings, the Barnes all over the terrain, and the Indestructibles at the vbases.

These are buildings that are not supposed to accessed, but due to an error in the Tile graphics, or some other unplanned consequence, individuals can enter the building. Its not all buildings, just the 3 story buildings in the villages. Even then you can't just drive in, you have to approach the end of the building at an angle the try to force your way in, just like you do when trying to get unstuck from a tree.

If you ignore the guy in the building and he has no customers, he gets bored and goes somewhere else. My buddy Hogey would never hide in a building.  :D

What want to know is ... what action Hitech is taking to fix it, if any? This has been known about for some time now. All he needs to do is pop in and say "yes I'm working or no I'm not, but keep paying so I can stay in retirement.
