Ok this is weird. I was just messing around and started randomely shooting some point bubbles that were glued to the floor and eventually they DISAPPEARED. Anyone else encounter this?

Never heard of this.... Perhaps you just broke it/them?

I just repeated it... strange... some point balls I can hit, some of them the paint blob goes right through. I'm definitely not collecting the ball, my score doesn't change. This is very peculiar.

Yeah! Awesome isn't it? This is used as a primary strategy in Splat Invaders - when you shoot the invaders point bubbles fall out, but if you just blindly shoot up in the air the paint lands on the bubbles, sometimes destroying them. I noticed this pretty much right after the MGS pack came out.

This must have something to do with paintballs also disappearing when emitted. Cornish Yarg set a 3 second time limit for paintballs. Do the score bubbles also last that long? I think MM applied the limit to make capturing them darn near impossible.

I figured it had more to do with the pressure on them then the paint itself, but it just happened in such a weird way. I guess this is a feature, not a defect? lol

Could be a defect, but I use it as a feature. Something to keep in mind with the paintinator, however - the pressure from the paint balls can actually break lighter material, such as dissolve. If you're trying to use a paintinator switch on a piece of dissolve or cardboard, there's the possibility the material could be destroyed and the switch never go off..... In these cases, I would suggest instead also having a magnetic key on the material, and a magnetic switch fire if the key disappears. This solves the whole issue.

Oh I know about the paintgun exerting that much pressure on objects, it's just I've never seen point bubbles break under pressure before. It doesn't make a cracking solve or have that gaseous dissolve cloud, it just vanishes from sight. The odd thing is I can only do it on some but not others, ah well, time to play around with crushing point bubbles for no particular reason.

Maybe (can't confirm that) there is some kind of "health" to them, so like bubbles that already took pressure tend to break others don't. Just a thought.

Maybe the paintballs dissapear and take the points with them?

I'm going to go with either the paintballs crushing the points, or it's to do with the stickering.
