Subject:
VAB - Orientation change, causes parts mounted on radial attachment points to pivot upon snapping to unrotated parts in other construct built in other orientation.
Expected teams required: Gameplay
Features: VAB // Orientations
Behaviour
Expected: When constructing something in horizonal alignment, then attaching a radial attachment point with a Docking port on it, and then rotating that construct into a vertical alignment, before trying to attach it to a vertically aligned secondary ship, with a side mounted docking ring, should connect the two docking rings as expected.
Observed: The docking node on the selected (and earlier rotated ship) will pivot 90 degrees out of alignment with the selected ship and prevent the nodes from connecting.
Reproduction
Recreated in fresh empty campaign, but occurs in all instances.
Probability: 100% (10/10 repro's)
Steps:
Start with a horizontal cockpit (Ref: shipA) and ensure the workspace is in horizontal orientation mode
Attach a fuel tank behind it
Attach a radial attachment point (Ref: radialA) below the fuel tank
Attach a docking port (Ref: dockA) to radialA.
Select the cockpit, and rotate the entire construct 90 degrees into a vertical alignment.
Change the workspace into vertical orientation mode
Place a new fuel tank somewhere as a secondary construct. (Ref: shipB)
Attach a radial attachment point (Ref: radialB) to the side of the fuel tank on ShipB.
Attach a docking port (Ref: dockB) to radialB.
Pick up shipA, and attempt to connect it to shipB by attaching dockA with dockB. ERROR: When dockA snaps to dockB, dockA will pivot 90 degrees into the wrong orientation.
Workaround: After the part (dockA) has snapped into the wrong orientation, pick it up (dockA), rotate it into the correct orientation, and reattach it to radialA. Then attempt to connect the two constructs together again and they will snap together as expected.
