I've seen suggestions that the scripted movement is necessary to synchronize the gate's closing animation with the payload passing through, but there are maps that disprove this. For example, the gates on Junkertown close once the payload passes through without relying on any scripted movement. I should have included this in the voiceover 🗿
This is true, but probably an oversight based on older maps, since Junkertown is a 'newer' map. The new OW2 maps doing this is completely beyond me though since the doors don't close...
The voiceover probably would have helped, but it's not your fault people comment garbage like that without even checking, let alone understanding the engine :/
The Eichenwalde closing animation does not really make sense if it can be delayed. Like why would the gate collapse a minute after the door was broken?
The one on Dorado however does not really make sense. Why would that door have to close immideately? You'd think it could stay open for a while, and then close once the payload is through.
@@Eknoma Yes, but it also conveniently waits for the cart to get through as it is so its not massively farfetched. I imagine the dorado door closed because without it there's a major sight-line right though the main entrance into that part of the map, its required for cover.
Good point. Thought the same. My idea why they only fixed the Route 66 thing is that the bug took to much effort to properly fix. Before the launch some dev did fix it for one map, but after the game launch they didn't find the time to fix an others.
Maybe at some point, fixing them was even too hard, because it might affect other behaviour, messing up competitive or some backend game tracking which would make stats harder.
Bro, I am so happy that after 6 years, someone actually started to talk about the video game mechanics. If you didn't play old overwatch and looked into it yourself then you wouldn't know anything about this stuff
We were in the trenches in the old days trying to figure out mechanics and data lmao, I remember spending a lot of time in custom servers with friends trying to figure out the actual damage per bullet from various characters and what kinds of damage gave Mercy ult charge for boosting them. Blizzard could’ve done a lot for the game if they’d been more public about the exact mechanics and numbers of the game - a big part of why I’m hesitant to get back into it is that it’s hard to get caught back up to where all the patches have left all the characters beyond piecing it together from wikis.
this isn’t even the first video essay on this topic lol
Reminds me Shounic, he’s doing the exact same thing but with tf2
If we could read the source code then these bugs would be a lot more obvious.
What a powerfully confident and ignorant statement lmao yah sure know one has made these kinda vids before

And in the most professional way lol

56 years?
Why have you subjected yourself to 56 years of overwatch?

Oh wow, the Paraiso one is very long indeed, can't wait to see how that plays out in competitive games or OWL.
The play will just be push up while the point moves itself
@@Joe_Payne I think what Myseglis means, is the possible automatically triggered Overtime. If everyone's dead on the attacking team but the payload moves during overtime without being pushed, the attackers can possibly regroup during those ~20 seconds.
I haven’t played a single match in Paraíso 😭
@@MrHdog111 it's not in the map pool. They literally forgot to add it as a playable map, it's only available in custom games for now
@@chiichen5322 Yep, exactly what I meant, I feel like the payload pushing itself for that long will allow attackers to regroup in OT to touch the payload again even though the entire team died.
Great videos, keep em coming

agreed
hi Andrew
Likewise :)
omagaa issss andreww
these overwatch videos are amazing man, highly appreciate this content
Although this is a fair point, the way this actually comes up in high level play in my experience is just that players know to not bother trying to contest the playload at certain points on the map. The very rare circumstance you mention requires the attackers on the previous side to have lost the playload during that sequence *and the extra overtime*. Ie, they basically need to die right when the scripting sequence hits, and they need to all die at once. That's pretty rare! Should be fixed ofc, but after years of playing OW, I've never seen this bug
It's not really a bug, and it doesn't really affect the competition. It's just some mild visual inconsistency. The thing is, both teams get that scripted sequence, and for both teams the point isn't playable during it, so there's no unfairness. If you make it to the checkpoint, you automatically get that extra 6m. If the cart instantly teleported those 6m instead, nobody would complain, despite being functionally the same.
@@aolson1111 IKR! But it's a payload, not a cart! C:
"*and the extra overtime*. 'le'."?
@@Sushie55
Payload cart
So what would really fix the problem would be if they added another 6 meters onto the payload track. That way, it isn't a question of "are there any attackers on the cart after the scripted movement" but instead becomes "can the attackers push the cart the remaining 6 meters after the scripted movement."
Would make things look...
A lot less stupid.
Scripted movement is used on some maps to balance the sightlines, so that the defending team doesn't have a huge advantage
Should just be determined by best out of 4. if there's a tie make it by best time. if both are tied by defends only make the tie breaker be by who pushed the payload the furthest on attack.
I really like the longer scripted movements in overwatch 2 because it gives players more time to realize they need to back up since they can’t contest the payload anyway
This reminds me of shounics content, but instead of tf2 it’s overwatch. I love it! Wish there was more similar content for other games
OMG THIS WHOLE TIME I WAS LIKE “did shounic switch to ow content” bc I didn’t remember his name so I thought it was the same guy

I imagine the reason why these scripted movement scenes exist and aren't considered a bug is because after the payload moves forward a certain amount the gates behind them close and it's easier to have the payload automatically move past these points then to have it stop midway and force the gates to stay open. Although, the same thing happens in Route 66 so I'm not sure why that one in particular was considered a bug.
@@godsturf8210 I'm pretty sure they don't close until the payload moves through, it's just weird that this one instance isn't scripted when all of the others are.
There is no real reason for this. If u want to make this fair, create second script point on route. Like it doesn't count for checkpoints so it doesn't count in score. But it cut down route till this coordinates and launches needed animation once reached. Worst thing they forced to do is split animations on halfs(open/close; break gates/crash entrance). I would say that it's evening of work. IMHO it's not harder than cut footage for youtubers( this can do even retards( I mean look on some of YT makers))
The payload on Route 66 change was a bug because, at one point in development, the doors did close. The payload movement was left over from that change on accident. The reason Junkertown and R66 don't close but Eichenwald and Dorado do is a result of sightlines. Eichenwald had an issue on release (can't remember if it was full game or just PTR) where snipers could shoot at spawn from the choke with a ton of cover due to the downwards slope. The devs added the rubble to counter these sightlines, and the payload movement so it wouldn't clip through the rubble. The rubble has to fall as soon as you capture because there would be no point to it otherwise. What good is rubble letting you get out of spawn, if it only falls down to help you after you've pushed past where you actually need it? Dorado has a similar issue, with near direct sightlines to attacker spawn on 3rd point. Junkertown and R66 fix this in another way, though. They both have harsh L turns right after the choke which cuts sniper sightlines more naturally, as well as much more direct high ground access for flankers to make use of.
I’d guess it had to do with intentional map design instead of a bug. The devs want those sections to be closed, whereas they’re fine with the non-scripted points being open until the payload is pushed. This would explain why it was a bug on r66 but not dorado. They want the dorado door closed for some reason so they auto script it. Or on eich they want the crumbling door animation to trigger so it’s auto scripted (this makes some sense bc of the cover the crumbled door provides to the attacking team).
i agree with this reasoning of it is easier to have the movement script but is it better for a competitive game where that script can ruin a lot of games for people in comp and even regular play but that's just my thought also nice comment Damian Lego
Once, when I was playing Rain on a defenders team, I snuck behind the payload with enemy team contesting it right before is was to pass the gate. I shattered enemies at the payload and was instantly killed by rest of the team. But thanks to the scripted movement, payload C9'ed itself leaving enemies previously contesting it behind.
_Play of the Game:_
This is especially going to be a problem in Push maps after making a comeback in overtime. The speed the robot moves when it's not pushing the barrier, it's almost the same as the player, I could barely keep up. I can imagine this exact scenario when you shatter or grav the whole enemy team from the side without contesting the robot, it just leaves you xD
@@X1erra Better let the bot push you along. 😴
@@X1erra Not really an issue, because win \ loss in push is determined by furthest distance, not current robot position. If you stop touching the robot for any reason then your current push has ended (and you can still get graved off point in any other mode anyways.)
who's rain?
Always enjoyable to watch these informative Overwatch videos thank you!
You are easily one of my new favorite TH-camrs. I like this technical kind of talk, but could only listen to it if it was about something else I loved. Hope you get some good content out of OW 2 when it releases.
Yo man you’re the goat!!! I love the technical nature of your videos, it’s soo good and refreshing rather than saying what you think the cause may be. You dedicate time to scripting in the workshop, finding map origins and stuff like that.
I appreciate you deeply for that lets get you to 1 mil xD you got this
Went into this video thinking it was going to be similar to an edge case in Team Fortress 2 where the payload can be capped while contested because an attacker touching the cart applies an unstoppable acceleration force that can sometimes be just enough to inch the payload past the checkpoint. Glad to see that's not the case for OW at least.
“Jeff, why!?” Had me fuckin weak, man. 😂😂😂
ever since the dva video you made, I've been watching all of your videos and I gotta say there's nothing else like this in the overwatch TH-cam community and you're really filling a hole rn. The quality of your videos are always top-notch as well, something I would expect from someone like KarQ. Please keep making these informational style videos, I love watching them. ❤️
these videos are so well made!! always a pleasure to watch your content :)
Wow this is SO well Edited. I knew a little bit about scripted events that couldn't be stopped but this is such a good expansion on how it works.
Your videos are so well made!! Keep it up please we all love you
i love your videos
Bro just spawned outta nowhere with some of the highest quality, in depth and most educational content from any game on the platform
I instantly thought of that Ster clip when I clicked on this video and I'm so glad you included it :)
I love your videos, very well made! Keep up the great work, it’s refreshing to see some amazing content on Overwatch.
For the older maps: I assume it’s because the gate and the debris are also scripted events and they don’t want to program it separately
I believe that in some maps the payload is forced to move through the gate is when there's a long sightline from defenders place, because if it stops in the middle of the gate keeping it open it will create a new choke point and give the defenders an advantage as long as it remains there allowing snipers to spawn kill attackers
im loving the content, the rate of upload, the quality of the videos
thank you
I did know about this bug but I watched the whole thing anyway because your visuals and script are great, that was a perfect way to end the video!
Love the background music, such a classic!
I've been playing since beta and never once thought about this mechanic. Awesome video!
these are so unbelievably fun to watch, ty so much man

I had a very similar hypothesis about how payloads worked, especially during scripted moments, but it's 100% appreciated and great to have someone explain it in an entertaining manner with factual information.

Someone watched some of shounic's videos and was taking notes.
Feel a heavy amount of inspiration might have come from his video style.
What makes this even funnier is how shounic made videos on how you can cap the final point on payload maps in TF2 while the cart is being contested and a video on scripted cart movement on payload race maps.
This is the only channel being informative for both ow players and devs in 6 years.
Seeing high quality Overwatch content makes me incredibly happy

The shounic of overwatch. Love this form of content, keep it up
I mean, if the capture happens during the scripted sequence, it means current attackers got to the endpoint of the scripted animation in less time then the opponent. that is equivalent to the cap being on the trigger point of the script, but on a delay. As long as the cap is registering correctly, it doesn't break balance, just becomes a novelty deciding criterium, right?
Kinda
I love the bit with the two tracers
This man's content is underrated.
I'm so surprised this guy isn't getting as much recognition as he deserves. He kinda reminds me of Asumsaus, with his editing and tone.

Aye ngl…I fw the music, gives me throw back PC game vibes.
I cannot believe that I'm actually watching Overwatch content in 2022, it feels nostalgic
Marblr, Eichenwald one kind of makes sense as the door frame breaks and blocks it from moving backward. If the animation is to play after the checkpoint but is contested, the payload would be stuck behind the rubble of the door.
Also it is cool on how the second check point on Junkertown the gate will stay open until the payload goes through. I think it is because it’s newer than the two maps mentioned in the video.
It's unrelated to how new it is. Junkertown has a massive bend that blocks sightlines, as well as stairs up to the high ground, so there is no need to close the door. This is also why the door on Route 66 doesn't close. It did close at one point during development, but due to the attacker's spawn location and the shack creating a sharp bend right before choke it didn't need to close, and so they scrapped it. This is why the payload movement was classified as a "bugfix", because they had forgotten to remove the scripted movement trigger when they made the doors stay open, not because the trigger was never meant to be there.
I like how you use that source texture trigger.
youre like the shounic of overwatch, and i appreciate it
I'm convinced the dev team is just 3 box turtles and they just forgot to feed them, so they never fix bugs.
I haven't played ow for 3 or 4 years, but after these videos I kind of want to play it again...
THE BLINX BACKGROUND MUSIC!!!
While Eichenwald has the whole breaking down the door segment and small bit of rubble to create a small wall, that is still at a checkpoint, Dorado's scripted segment does not occur at a checkpoint, it is a brief ways into the third and final portion of the payload route, and I wonder if this has something to do with the scripted sequence behaving differently.
More importantly, the fact that a team can push the payload beyond the distance set by the first team during a scripted sequence even when contested must mean that in the first round, the round had ended while the payload was still in motion, meaning that someone still has to be there to "escort" the payload during one of those sequences at the end of the round or during overtime, else the distance will be cut short before the full scripted segment is finished.
I HEAR THAT BLINX MUSIC AT 4 MINUTES U CANT FOOL ME 😭😭😭💖💖💖💖
3rd video I’ve watched of urs so ig I’ll sub
love this kind of videos
Is that Blinx the time sweeper in the background?? :>>> love it
I hope your channel blows for OW2 when it releases :)
I've noticed this many times but don't consider it a bug. It is consistent. If you kill the enemy team just after they arrive at the Dorado gate, the spot AFTER the gate closes is instantly marked. If they can't get back to move it more and the round ends, the spot stays there. Same for you in round 2. If the enemy kills YOU in the same spot, your progress is marked in the exact same spot on the far side of the gate. If you can't get back to move it more before the round ends, it's a draw. Might look a little weird because the enemy killed you before the cart reaches the spot marked on the ground... but the cart has no choice but to move there.
Guarantee one dev didn't realize the animation was supposed to happen when they noticed it the first time moving solo, usually after cap people are on it. The misidentified it as a bug and got it put in.
LOVE these well edited segments and infographics! Your videos help me improve every day!
2:43 "I have already won..."
"WHAT?!"
*DEFEAT*
I think the payload moves in Dorado and Eichenwalde because in Dorado the gate closes after a while of its opening, and the rocks fall down in Eichenwalde, so the payload must move before that, unlike Route 66.
Always appreciate these well put together in-depth videos. Also thanks for putting Blinx music in your videos.
goat OW mechanics channel no question
because the doors on Eichenwalde and Dorado have a second animated script that plays immediately after the payload passes through the door, it literally cannot stop after the doors open or else the animations would not properly play and would obstruct the payload. although this could be logically explained on eichenwalde as it is a collapse of the structure, dorado is an easy fix that should allow the door to stay open until the payload advances
BABE WAKE UP, OVERWATCH CODE GUY UPLOADED!
So this channel is like shounic, but for ow. I'm really looking forward for more content
Blinx music. Love to see it!
Very logical explanation, it really tells you that the juvenile players don't know how the game works.
Marblr you're doing gods' work
Your videos remind me of shounic. Loving them alot
Sometimes us devs think we fixed a bug because we run through the specific scenario that was reported and the bug doesn't show up anymore, ignoring abother bug with similar results is still in the code. The QA team is supposed to test every build in deep, but if the release cycle is too short or the project is too big it's impossible to go over every single scenario.
Dorado and Eichenwalde were added later, so maybe map teams changed or something, and what was once considered a bug was now a feature.
Really interesting to see these detailed analyses of how the game works, cool vid
I find it funny how you said that it’s even in overwatch 2. Proving even more that overwatch 2 is just an expansion
