Descriptive Problem Summary:
client.dir to alter the visual effect of objects.

Altering client.dir in dreamseeker works, however in the webclient, it doesn't do anything.

Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Use the code in the webclient.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob/verb/Flip()
client.dir = (client.dir == NORTH ? SOUTH : NORTH)


Expected Results:
It to affect things like how it does in dreamseeker.
Actual Results:

Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Always.
In other games? Pretty Sure.
In other user accounts? Yep.
On other computers? Yes.

When does the problem NOT occur?
When I use dream seeker.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)

Always done this from what I've seen.

Workarounds:

Just don't use the webclient.





NOTE: By Altering visual effects, I mean altering what the client perceives, like directions.
Huh. It should be supporting client.dir, but I'll see what's wrong. Does it work in any earlier builds?
I'll do several checks right now
I was not able to confirm any problem with client.dir as far as where things appear on the map. The only issue I saw was that the facing dir of the icons did not update when the dir changed. Since that's a genuine bug, I'll count this report towards that and mark it closed.
