(I've tried recording this but none of my recording software seems to want to play nice with GameGuru. )

For some reason the "Rocket man" character will always fire 2 RPG missiles at once, which not only looks incredibly weird, but is a bit unfair since it can deal double damage to the player, and makes the player twice as likely to get hit.

I haven't tampered with any of the Rocket man's files or settings, and I've tested this on an empty flat level, and on the "Morning Mountain Stroll" level. Just to be sure, I did a clean install of GameGuru and it still happens? Does anyone else have this issue or is it just me?

yes, they're pretty broken, there appears to be an issue with the fireweapon command and rpgs, because the "fireweapon" call is used quite often in the AI logic it causes them to fire 2 rockets by default, you can fix it by removing unnecessary module_combatcore.fireweapon(e) lines in module_combatcore.lua

The latest version available on Steam, no betas or anything. (It says "2019.09.16 Performance Build" on startup.)

Thank you smallg, I'll try this and see if it works

EDIT: Thank you so much smallg! There was one fireweapon(e) call that I had to remove: The one after the "strafeleft" and "straferight" functions. It seems like the AI would strafe, fire a shot, then they'd go into an idle state and instantly fire another shot, so I removed the one after strafing and it worked like a charm!

It strikes me that the modularization of the core functions was not tested properly,(at all?) - see my post re the masked civilian.
Whilst modularization as a general idea is a 'good thing', it does cause exactly this kind of widespread bugginess if a thorough test plan is not devised and carried through. You really do have to scope out the impacts of your changes and make sure your whizzo fix for a, b and c doesn't mess up x, y and z.
