Caustic gas should not bleed through walls outside of a room

★★★ Apprentice

title says it all. if caustic drops his gas canister in a room and it activates the cloud should not bleed through the walls out side of that room or into a hall way adjacent to a room.

Agree to the fullest. Died that way last night and actually screamed 'the f! this shouldn't happen with door's closed!'

I've been playing since beginning so don't tell me to get used to it...

I agree, but it depends on the cost. It's probably bleeding through walls now because they are doing a cheap spherical calculation from the center. If you change the shape of the gas to a more complex one that means more complex hit calculations for the server and additional culling calculations on the client.

 

As this is a minor issue I'd rather save performance unless they are able to optimize it so much it does not really matter.
