Summary0001832: Online Turns Finite 0 Tic Loops into Infinite Loops
DescriptionI've noticed that, when an actor that uses a finite 0 tic loop is spawned by another actor, online Zandronum attempts to break the finite loop claiming it is infinite. Then ... it turns it infinite.

Soon the client ( and possibly the server if there's no client siding ) freezes to a halt if the loop is used to spawn another actor as said actor is created ad nasuem, never stopping until the client disconnects ( usually by a helpful kick ). Nothing like this occur offline, in Zandronum or ZDoom.
Steps To Reproduce1. Download the included wad.
2. Summon DoomImp2
3. Shoot the imp. Shoot it a second time if it doesn't go into its Pain state.

If you're offline, the imp will shoot out a circular effect. If you're online, it kind of ... freaks out.

The actor that spawns the fake fireballs is Hitspark. Notice how you can summon it offline, but not online. Or, at least, it doesn't spawn anything online. Perhaps this is linked?

This is simply due to the fact that lag exists and cannot be fixed on our end.

What does lag have to do with this, considering that spawned actors are set to be CLIENTSIDE? I see no obvious problems with the DECORATE code, so it's possible that the A_GiveInventory() doesn't work due to the CLIENTSIDE flag and this causes the infinite loop.

This started to work properly when I removed all CLIENTSIDE references from the code, but now each time an Imp gets hit it takes about 2kB/s of traffic until the fire ring disperses.

I would also remove relation with 1200 as it seems to not be related at all.

Works fantastic! After several tests, there were no freezes or hang-ups at all. Thanks!
