MantisBT - Zandronum
TROO A 0 A_Jump(256,"Missile1","Missile2")
Loop
This code. What we have here is a zero-length state that loops itself. Normally, it should result in an infinite loop, but we have A_Jump(256) there, which jumps out of the state with 100% chance before the looping is met.
The problem about it? Offline, it works perfectly fine. Online, as soon as the state is entered by an actor, all clients freeze instantly. Attempting to reconnect to the server results in being instantly kicked due to too much missed packets.
On a modder's side, this code can be easily fixed by replacing Loop with Goto Statename. Despite having the exact same functionality, doing so will avoid online freezes. However, I'm tired of fixing this bug for other modders. If you could make zandronum not freeze this bad because of this code, I'd be really grateful.
