[Bug][0.77]Combat animation loop

from Elemental Forums

Sooo... this happened:

 

Not much to say, I summoned an Air Elemental by using a scroll one of the champions had. I attacked the existing Air Elemental with mine, and they started doing that until I hit the autoresolve combat button.

Ignore the obscene mana indicator, I sort of, kind of, cheated a bit so I can muck about with the spells. Not sure if that had anything to do with the animations. I made sure to only muck about with the exact value of the mana... and the gildar... and the tech, but that didn't work... are there cheats to this game yet? 

So anyway, the debug for that bit: http://pastebin.com/eWc7Js7b The rest was just more of that last line repeated, ending with the auto resolve.

I have had similar errors a number of times. Only solution is to auto-resolve what is left or punch out of the game and try to reload, which is also severe problem if you have the "trying to reload a mid-late game save crashes the game client" bug as I and a few others seem to.

dude it's like lizards fighting... that's an awesome bug, getting it in the list.  Does anyone know of it happening with units other than air elementals?  wonder if it's a problem with them or with summoning..

edit: found the problem, should be fixed next build.  It's specific to units attacking mirrors of themselves (and the air elemental in particular). If anyone sees thing happening with other units let me know, we will be (hopefully) performing a test to make sure it doesn't happen with other units.  But who knows, could miss one ;)
