If you set an atom's invisibility variable, it not only hides the atom's main icon, but also any images that have their loc set to it in the Webclient. In Dream Seeker, the images remain visible even if the atom is itself invisible.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
1) Create a /image with the loc set to a mob
2) Output that image to a player
3) Set the mob's invisibility to 1
4) Notice that the image also disappears in the Webclient
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob
icon = 'Person.dmi'
Login()
client.images+=image(icon='CPPlayer.dmi', loc=src, layer=MOB_LAYER+1)
..()
verb
ToggleInvisibility()
invisibility = !invisibility
Logout()
del(src)
world
maxx = 10
maxy = 10
maxz = 1
Expected Results:
Images manually output to a client should be visible even if the atom they're attached to is invisible.
Actual Results:
In the Webclient, the image disappears when its loc is invisible.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Every time
In other games? Snippet provided
In other user accounts? On admin
On other computers? Unknown
When does the problem NOT occur?
When in Dream Seeker, or when the image's loc is not invisible.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
It has occurred since the first Webclient beta (took me a while to track down, haha)
Workarounds:
Set the icon of the atom to null instead of using invisibility.
