Summary	0002119: Server doesn't inform the client of actor TIDs with ACS Spawn/SpawnSpawn functions

Revision	2015-03-09 20:52 by cobalt
Description	When spawning an actor with Spawn() or SpawnSpot() in ACS, one of the parameters you can pass is the "newtid" parameter, which automatically assigns the newly spawned actor the given TID. However, this TID is not sent to the client, and if used in any clientside scripts, ACS functions will behave as if the TID doesn't exist. A workaround is to immediately call Thing_ChangeTID(newtid, newtid) after using Spawn() or SpawnSpot(). I've confirmed that this does inform the client that the actor has the new TID.
