delay

[Gamble]

hi there has been a portal but in eg for quite sometime now and pm has been forced to put an attach delay in the game which many people dont like, the bug makes a portal drop available even if anti is on straight after you have attached to someone, so artificial anti-warp has been made for 2.5 seconds to stop it from happening (attach delay) is there any other way of fixing the portal bug without having an attach delay?

[Bargeld]

It's all based on lag... the amount of time it takes for the anti to register on the attaching person's client. If you attach and lay a portal real quickly, it wont do any good anyway. By the time your bombFireDelay (the setting used for the delay between items) allows you to actually portal back to the beacon, the antiwarp will have kicked in and the portal wont work until you are out of range of anti.

 

It's not really a bug, its a function of lag, and how long it takes for packets to get where they are going, and it doesn't provide any usable benefit, so I wouldn't worry about it.
