-project_image messages send during scry

Post by solar separation » Thu Sep 22, 2022 8:32 am

Description
==========
I believe the -project_image system was overlooked when the change to receiving messages whilst scrying fix came about.
Or it's decided to do this on its own.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
Scry someone
Receive a wisp/message via -project_image from another party whilst scrying

Expected result
-----------------------
it will not be sent, as wisps and other messengers get blocked

Actual result
-------------------
it shows up in the same room.

Screenshot(s)
--------------------
I'd rather not post them publicly.

Misc Notes
----------------
They also figured out who specifically was scrying them from the message despite the message itself not containing enough information to give away who was scrying. Which I believe resulted in a counter scry, which would never had happened if the message had been blocked. It has put me in a very uncomfortable position as a result with - I don't know if it's a meta case or not, but it's annoying.

Which Server(s)?
------------------------
UD/Live

Gaming Platform(s)?
------------------------------
... the... personal computer,

This happens when the project_image is sent via a tell command, rather than -project_image (character name)

Have had this happen to someone I sent a project_image via tell, and I am aware that this doesn't happen the other way, as if you try to do -project_image (character name) while they are scrying, it cannot find them.

Don't have a fix, but I do know this is the specific circumstance in which it occurs.
