Just saw a weird glitch(?) with sneak in adventuring. I don't know exactly what happened because I can't remember where my cat originally was, but they were on one of the middle tiles. I tried to have them sneak down to the tile in the bottom right corner, past an enemy, failed the sneak, and got catapulted up to the top-right fear.

Here is a screenshot I took after the glitch occurred, along with notes of what happened:
"Screenshot of a battle with 4 rubble sprites from adventuring. There is a rubble sprite in the tile above the bottom-right tile, with cats above and to the left of it, and a rubble sprite in the tile below the top-right tile with a cat left of it. Four tiles in the middle are circled in blue with the text 'originally on one of these i think'. A white line points to the tile below the bottom rubble sprite with the text 'tried t sneak to here', and a yellow line points to the cat next to the top rubble sprite with the text 'failed sneak and got yeeted to here'."

If it's relevant, this was the first turn of the battle and the cat in question was the last in the turn order. They also could have reached both locations, including the one where they did end up, with their movement speed. Also I thiiink they were most likely on the leftmost or middle of the tiles I highlighted? But I can't be 100% sure.

Edit: oh, I do also have a luncheon giving a +1 movement boost today, and if Sirius (the cat in question) hadn't had the movement boost and if they were on the leftmost or top tiles of the ones I highlighted, they would not have been able to reach the tile I tried to have them sneak to - I wonder if that has something to do with it? thonk (They have 6 base movement speed and the luncheon gives them 7)

Edit edit: sorry for all the edits augh, but I tried to replicate the glitch with a similar (but non-identical battle), and it didn't repeat. Here was the placing of my cats before Sirius moved, once again aiming for the bottom-right tile:

And after, they once again failed their sneak but this time moved to a more expected location (I didn't think to take a screenshot before attacking the rubble sprite aksdahds oops):

I don't know if this bug has already been reported but I couldn't find it in the known errors thread, so I thought I'd post to make sure. I hope this can help out somewhat! teehee

Well this is mysterious and fascinating. How'd they end up all the way over there?!?!

I've added this to the list.

More sneak weirdness from other post:

charizard said
This cat can move to an unintended square without making a skill check.

I had the roasted poultry in brambleberry sauce meal (+2 movement tiles) wear off recently, but I don't think it happened during this battle. It would explain why xe can reach this square and not the one below.

More, sneak kicked my cat to a weird square when the check failed. They do have the movement speed to try to go this really roundabout way, but...???

I have another example for you of a cat being able to move to a square without a sneak check that should require a sneak check, this time fighting Shadow of Nestor:
alt text required

Interestingly, there's no way for them to get to that square without sneaking past Nestor regardless of movement speed.

I have another similar example of sneak weirdness for you.

Melon is the orange cat with the fantail pigeon on her head and should need to sneak past Nestor to get to anything below the choke point, but one of the squares doesn't require sneak.


Ok, I don't know why the image embed isn't working, but this link should work?

I have a new example of sneak misbehaving:
an example of sneak not working right
It's Gibolock's turn and I've marked out the distances to travel to each of the open squares. The only way to get to the one next to the Fungus Pup within range is to sneak by, but the square isn't marked as requiring sneak.



Edit: 3/21/2024
Here's another example
another example of sneak not working right
This time it's Arwen's turn (she's boxed in yellow). To get to the square circled in yellow she should have to sneak past the forest hound.
