Ability to capture the same transient multiple times
JTerwel opened this issue · comments
When trying to capture a new transient, there is a short time delay between pressing the button, and a message popping up saying "ZTF...... successfully caught". If I spam the catch button during this time delay, I can catch the same object multiple times. This is reflected in my collection as e.g. having caught 7 nuclear transients, while I only have 3 different names.
After testing it a bit, this only works before the first "ZTF...... successfully caught" message pops up.
I tested this with ZTF18aaznhka (mag 18.6, cost 5, points 140) and managed to catch it 7x, netting me 980 points, while never having caught another variable. The name only shows up once in my collection, but collection size does say "Variable: 7"
@JTerwel , @Dhruv-Pindawala has fixed this. Now a "Catching..." pop-up appears and during the time the database syncs, additional catches are not allowed. Though multiple "Catching..." may be seen on multiple touches, for subsequent catches you see "Already in colection". Please check once and then close the issue.
@JTerwel you will need to update the app (same link) before you will see the updated feature.
Yes, even if the "Catching..." pop-up appears multiple times, it is now only counted once in the collection & leaderboard.
