The problem here is that you are creating an illegal state: The player class Human has "LimitedToTeam 0". When you use Player_SetTeam to change the team of a "Human" player to 1, you create a player on team 1 with a class that is limited to team 0. This is forbidden and the engine resolves this by respawning said player with a class allowed to team 1 (this is also why RESPAWN scripts are triggered by Player_SetTeam here). The respawning internally wasn't done properly though which led to the ghost player. This should hopefully prevent ghost players from appearing. |

Hm. Is where some way around to change player class without morphing? Morphing AFAIK is used only to temporary change it while I need the effect to be permanent. Maybe introduce a new function to change the player class on the fly?
BRB testing. |

Zandronum will automatically change the player class when you change the team and the current class is not allowed to the new team. In your case, if you change the team to infected, the player should automatically be respawned with the infected class.
EDIT: Did the new binary fix the problems with the ghost player?

The reason I ask for s separate function is that I don't what the player to respawn. It causes the server to move the player to his team spawn spot, but I need him to stay where he was at time of infection.

We can think about letting Player_SetTeam respawn the player at the position he was though.

Hm, it didn't crash with the "light" version of the WAD, but crashed with the unstripped version.
It's very strange but I can't run the executable you've given me as client anymore, because it hangs after level authentication. It suddenly timeouts from the server. No skins or other autoloaded files are present.
But what I did is just running the game with a few bots, infecting some of them and then invoking changemap. In the light version it should changemap successfully but with some bots as Infected in the human team. In the actual version it'll crash. The download link of the full version are here:'http://zandronum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1628. [^]' UPD: Best-Ever servers are down for a while so the files can't be downloaded right now and I can't reupload from this connection :/.
EDIT: forgot to mention that some of bots were dead at the time of changemap.

Please let me know when the files are available for download again.

Quote from Qent
To clarify: the script that forces all joining players to start on the human team seems to break, but all those who do end up on the human team are human, and all on the infected team are infected. Do you know whether it breaks due to a bug in the script or in Zandronum's ACS handling? If it's the latter, can somebody create a minimal example wad that demonstrates the problem? |

From what I gathered on IRC, consensus is that the example given is too sloppily coded to demonstrate anything. A proper example wad is necessary here. |

I managed to get the dummy actor to spawn on V1.1 by simply adding one bot on my server. I'm not thoroughly convinced that Zand is committing this, and the bot that was forced onto a team had been a zombie prior to joining the human team. It spawns the corpses of the morphed bots while ACS mandates that only humans can spawn, and not zombies.
Edit: This still happens in 130512-1932.

Here is my example of this issue, I tried to make it as simple as possible
'http://static.best-ever.org/wads/ghostactortestmap.wad [^]'
The map and gametype to use is map01 and teamdeathmatch. Join in as team Ghost and you'll be automatically changed to the Normal team, this is where the ghost actor will be spawned. My solution to fix this problem is to kill the actor first then change his team

ghostactortestmap.wad works started with
zandronum.exe -file ghostactortestmap.wad -host +teamdm 1
works fine for me in the latest 1.1 testing binary. Did you really manage to reproduce the error in 1.1 or did you only test 1.0?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I did the test in 1.0 and 1.1 but I could of been using a older version of 1.1 |
|
|
|
|
|
Can you confirm that the problem is fixed for you in the latest 1.1 beta build? |
|
|
|
|
|
ForrestMarkX told me that the latest 1.1 build indeed fixes the problem for him. |

Does this mean we can consider this resolved? |
|
|
|

0001198:0005494 claims that there are problems left after the fix, I wasn't able to reproduce any of these problems though. Since ZzZombo didn't give anymore feedback, I don't see anything we can do about this though.
Furthermore, 0001198:0006283 talks about bot related problems. There is no detailed instruction on how to reproduce those though either. |

I tested this ticket with ghostactortestmap.wad and with human and bot clients . It appears to be working perfectly. I'm assuming ZzZombo's example gave me a false flag due to his coding. Also, there are no issues on my part regarding ZzZombo's previous posts.

I think we can just close this at this point. Re-open if the issue crops up again. |

I again got this to happen. Load the newly attached file w/ server (teamgame, any stock map w/ team starts will do, I used D2CTF3), connect to it and add a bunch of bots (I used 7). After the game chooses a player to become the Hunter inspect the world (you might wanna to use the god cheat to prevent dying in the process) and eventually you'll notice a ghost body of the Hunter. Some of them can't be attacked and killing them kills the actual player, pretty much like a voodoo doll. Some of them just stay there, they don't block path or anything. |
