back what is weirdest bugs you guys yeah chase did you have a good one okay okay so I had about it's gonna take me a while to explain it so I'm gonna focus on that oh how many times you're gonna do that simon honestly it's a reflection you know you're vehicle called a tractor which is a little square a little just little tractor right and we have like a test level that we have with like a bunch of random objects that we drive on or whatever and on that test level there is also a thing it's it's a teleporter not saying there are teleporters not saying there will be right we we at one point, meddled with the idea of teleporters and so so that teleporter was like really old and dodgy was just on the other side of the map and one of our guys found that it was simon simon realized that if you drive up onto this ramp on this level with the tractor stopped got out the tractor just disappeared and then drove out of the teleporter and we're like wait what like what the hell is going on and so we kept testing it and we found if you had to go up stop at a specific point get out and then it would and then it would just drive out a teleporter or if you stayed in you would just die and we're like what is going on that week when I was programming the vehicles I added a new feature called camber which is like if these are the wheels that makes them turn in and out like that I added that and then in the code there there was unfortunately a divide by zero, error which means you know you could have a number divided by zero and then it becomes infinity and then that that value was then used as force on the vehicle so the for the vehicle got infinite, forces applied to it so it grew to be infinitely big and when it grew to be infinitely big it hit the teleporters hit the teleporter's trigger box and then it it got re reset back down to there all the forces were clamped again and it just drove out of the teleporter classical saturday night did you crash no no no no no he didn't yeah no he's just he's kidding around you know that's what you get when you when you, hold a nut for too long apparently the game doesn't did you get a fun call sack though, did you did you remember to, fill in the the the field I just did it now and explain what you did sometimes and your comment feels like I was telling a funny story I was just standing there in all caps I was just standing in there snoop was building foundation see me thank malone's gaming I really appreciate it it was something to do with the skeletal best skinned mesh component refresh bone transform yeah okay
