new bug: archer shoot you while on stairs, infinite arrows!

[Komag]

I've discovered a rare and interesting bug (possibly helpful for Grimrock 2, or for dungeon authors to avoid the situation for Grimrock 1 mods)

If you are fighting skeleton archers who fire those ice arrows at you, if you run down the stairs and they shoot an arrow at you (and possibly hit you while you are descending), you will get a free arrow at the bottom of the stairs! (or two if it was a pair of skeles on patrol).

You can repeat this over and over and over, going back up the stairs, timing it to step back down just as they almost start shooting, so you're mostly down before they shoot, then find another arrow or two at the bottom.

It's quite an exploit, don't abuse it too badly!

Huh? I recall this "bug" but wasn't that fixed already?

Oops, I didn't realize it was known, I just never heard of it.

It still happens, guess it was just not important enough to fix.

Anything thrown at a staircase ends up at the foot of the stairs; not so when thrown at the foot of the stair ~it won't arrive at the top. I think this is by design.

Yeah but skeleton archer arrows usually don't manifest on the floor no matter what (except for the chance of getting one when you kill them), so this is different from the normal situation

Uh, I thought I fixed this one but apparently there is still a way to reproduce the issue. Thanks for the bug report!
