I've noticed lately that when playing Cortex, I cannot trust my commander to do a single thing right, combat-wise.
Most of the issues are related to dgunning. I cannot say exactly what's wrong, but it seems that it just randomly decides not to dgun, completely cancelling the command. Does it have something to do with energy? Queues? No idea.
Please contribute by posting your findings that relate to this.

Long known issue, pattern is unclear, as is the cause. I've looked into it before while sorting other dgun issues, but had no luck at the time.
If people can make a repeatable case where it will fail I can look into it in more detail, but 'it doesn't work sometimes' is ... really hard to do much about.

Ok, final notes on the setup.
The commander's torso has to be at rest. This means it is looking straight where its legs are looking. The legs can be moving, but the torso must not.
Finishing firing the laser will put the torso at rest after some time, but firing the dgun will never put the torso at rest (it will remain facing wherever it was facing seemingly indefinitely). Issuing a move command after the dgun command interrupts this behaviour and the torso will eventually go to rest.
If the torso is in the state of rest, firing the dgun slightly outside its range to the commander's right hand side (dgun hand side) will lock up the commander (the dgun command remains active without ever finishing) without firing the dgun. It does not matter if the legs are moving at the time. The arc around the dgun arm seems to be roughly 160 degrees (I'm completely eyeballing this)

Let me know if you have trouble reproducing this, but you probably won't

that's really specific, no wonder I couldn't find it

it's specific, but it's also a very common situation where you're closing in on something you really need dgunned

it seems more erratic behind, trying to look into exact angle/pattern though
anywhere past 90 degrees it seems to have a reasonable chance of turning enough to not trigger it, whereas in the zone I marked I can do it every time
should be enough to help debug though, thanks greatly

(this is hopefully fixed btw, PR pending)

It's fixed now, PR merged
