Description

Description

Commander dies:
https://youtu.be/zdUgq5ga_jw?t=27m48s (at 27m 48s)

Commander resurrected and is stuck, apparently: https://youtu.be/zdUgq5ga_jw?t=31m31s (at 31m 31s)

Expected Behaviour

Commander snaps to "in bounds" position if it's fully or partially out of bounds so that he doesn't get stuck

Or store the last fully valid position of every unit on death and if their resurrected position is bad, teleport them (hopefully not far) to their last valid position

Actual Behaviour

Commander gets stuck and the wreckage is a bit weird

Reproduction steps

The videos give a good idea of how to do this. Haven't tested anything myself, but I think it's possible that moving towards out of bounds when the commander dies is relevant.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the commander resurrection logic to ensure the unit's position is clamped to the map bounds or teleported to its last valid position upon resurrection.
