The filters list on MA acts nothing like it does on atoms and can break completely unrelated things like setting appearances
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Code snippet
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
Normal Code: filters is length 0
var/obj/o = new
o.filters += list("type" = "outline", "size" = 1, "color" = "FFF")
world.log << length(o.filters)
var/dm_filter/d = o.filters[1]
world.log << isnull(d)
world.log << d.type
0
runtime error: list index out of bounds
MA: filters is length... three?
var/mutable_appearance/o = new
o.filters += list("type" = "outline", "size" = 1, "color" = "FFF")
world.log << length(o.filters)
var/dm_filter/d = o.filters[1]
world.log << isnull(d)
world.log << d.type
3
0
runtime error: Cannot read "type".type
Trying to copy a broken MAs appearance prints.. a bad color error?
var/mutable_appearance/o = new
o.filters += list("type" = "outline", "size" = 1, "color" = "FFF")
world.log << length(o.filters)
var/obj/q = new
q.appearance = o.appearance
3
runtime error: bad color
Expected Results:
Something that makes sense like just not adding the filter (how objs work)
Actual Results:
See above
As a side note lists added to filters may appear to work fine when the MA is just used as an overlay even when it's added as a list like this. (Did not test extensively, but the code where I discovered this issue had the filter visible regardless)
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often? Yes
In other games? Yes
In other user accounts? Yes
On other computers? Yes
When does the problem NOT occur?
When you use it properly
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.)
Workarounds:
N/A tested on 515.1634 and 516.1659
