Kraken Charge bug

match ID: 42124712

Stunning Kraken mid charge will cause him to stop (he used to carry through).

However the damage will still play through as if an invisible kraken had kept on charging, even though Kraken has been stunned well short of his target.

Same deal was happening with Valk's leap. I'm guessing they're based on the same mechanics.

It spawns a projectile, and he follows it. When he gets stunned, he stops following the projectile (no idea why), but the projectile itself carries on and applies its usual effects.

is it as cool as throwing a kraken (pebbles) mid charge?

			<expirestate name="State_Kraken_Ability2_Self_Killprojectile" target="this_owner_entity" />
		</condition>

There are two pieces to Kraken's charge ability: a projectile, to which Kraken is bound to for the movement aspect, and an affector, which deals the magic damage and pushes the units. If Kraken gets stunned or immobilized, it unbinds him from the projectile and activates this code:

	<onexpired>
		<unbind target="this_owner_entity" />
		<kill source="" target="proxy_entity" />
		<playanim name="idle" target="source_entity" />
	</onexpired>

I assume what is happening is that the projectile is being destroyed+unbound, but for some reason the affector isn't. The code line <kill source="" target="proxy_entity" /> should technically destroy the affector, but I can't figure out why it isn't. Perhaps "proxy_entity" should be "this_proxy_entity"? I'm just throwing out random guesses at this point; I'm clueless.

Don't know, couldn't get the damn thing to download. However it's when we've all hit level 7 and are screwing around in the neuts trying to replicate the bug (it's a no stats game).
