seems to me like the health thing that people drop is ABLE to be used by the owner when they are already DEAD...
this should be removed

I believe this is a feature implemented so that the dropper of the health packs are NOT able to use them after they have died.

This feature is defined as a conflict in gameplay physics where:

Fortoresse Wiki a dit :

Clips/Health Packs that appear to vanish into the ether however is a result of players picking up those drops from other locations even if they show differently on your client.

It is impossible for someone to die and instantaneously collect health packs. What you are seeing is a little delay implemented on your client so that you appear to pick up the health packs you just spat out on death. In actuality, the health packs spit out as normal on other player's screens, even you cannot see them, because of a mechanic you can read about through the link I'll provide at the end of this post.

The game splits up the coordinates of the drops into what appears on your client (Client Coordinates) and what appears on the server (Server Coordinates). You may see health packs and clips suddenly disappear into thin air, because someone else has collected the clip. This is because the clip/health pack has bounced into a different location on your client than what other players may see. For example, a speck of conjuration or ground can exist on your screen where it does not exist for other players, and as such a drop can interact differently with what exists on one player's screen and does not for the other player. The server makes NO attempt to correct the position of the drop like it does for other objects e.g. players.

There is a discrepancy between what your client displays to you and what's shown on the server, known as the Crosscheck Mechanism, whose influence can result in a Conflict in Physics. Read more about it here.

I hope this explained this feature in detail.

so they are still there even if i use /mort and it shows +10 when im dead already?

Yes, they are there for other players. Before the health pack bug was fixed on VIPs, people used to mort next to VIPs to instantly drop their HP to 40.

Sure it doesn't work for enemy "toilet paper" .
