Summary0002697: Jumping pad [ThrustThingZ] doesn't work
DescriptionI am currently having an issue with one of the jump pads used in the TGRDM3 project. The bug that I am currently facing, ThrustThingZ does not take effect or even activates at all. I have tested this issue with Zandronum 3.0-latest available devbuild (from the time of writing this) [160229-1221] and also GZDoom 1.8.06, the issue occurs. However, it seems that the bug was resolved somewhere in ZDoom 2.8.0 ['http://zdoom.org/files/zdoom/2.8/ [^]' ]. Sadly, I am unable to find anything relevant in regards to ThrustThingZ while using GitHub's web-service search, thus I can't really provide much help as to what can potentially fix the issue.

In addition, I have tried testing this bug with a smaller test map, but I can't seem to reproduce the same effect from the map that I have in TGRDM3. I am not exactly sure why, but I can not really seem to figure it out.
Steps To Reproduce* Retrieve TGRDM3 Development Build ['http://tiger.rfc1337.net/downloads/zdoom/morgenstern/devbuilds/ [^]' ]
* Execute the pk7 with Zandronum (multiplayer or single-player, doesn't matter which)
* In console, type: MAP MAP03
* Go to coordinates: [-65,-4927] See screenshots
* If using GZDoom Builder ['http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=613830#p613830 [^]' ], find the comment "Jumping pad"; this uses ThrustThingZ, which is bugged

* If the player 'lands' on the sector reference, the THING will not trigger - or ThrustThingZ does not take effect. Thus, nothing happens.
NOTE: If you remove the Thing_Stop and other THING's that is in that sector, the THING containing the ThrustThingZ will still not take effect.

Did you try to reduce your map to a minimal example map by removing stuff from your existing map instead of creating a new map from scratch?

I only created a brand new map from scratch to see if I could be able to reproduce the issue, I did not bother with playing around with the original map that has this problem. However, if you give me - maybe an hour or two - I'll see if I can find anything. I'll first remove all other THINGS that is not around that jump pad, and then see if the issue was resolved, if not - I'll nuke all the vertices that is not around the jump pad.

Looks like I am able to reproduce this issue with GZDoom 2.2pre, as well as I am able to clearly reproduce this issue flawlessly now:'http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=894113#p894113 [^]'

I'll bring this back to the ZDoom Devs. and hopefully they'll correct this issue.

I don't know if this helps at all, but I made a report on the ZDoom forums:'http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?p=899183#p899183 [^]'
I don't know much more I can say or do; this issue simply confuses me.

Thank you for the idea of shrinking the map, this certainly helped to uncover an underlining issue.

I'm glad to hear that you were able to uncover the underlying issue!

Judging from the answer in the ZDoom thread, it sounds as if this is not a ZDoom bug, but you were relying on undefined behavior and already have a solution to fix this with ACS. Can this ticket be considered closed then?

It looks like I am still reaching a problem with that very same jump-pad, but this time - it will not execute the instructions from the newly created script 'JumpPad'. I have tried various options, but I can't seem to get it to work with Zandronum.

So far, I've tested this with: GZDoom 2.2pre, ZDoom 2.8.1, and GZDoom 2.1.1, I don't seem to have a problem with the THING trigger executing the script. However, I can't seem to get that THING trigger to work with Zandronum, even though that exact type of THING trigger is used on some of the other jumppads - and works. Now I am back to this confusion....

New test file:
'http://tiger.rfc1337.net/tmp/TGRDM3_v1-7597b33.pk7 [^]'

Jump Pad script:
'https://github.com/SibTiger/TGRDM3/blob/master/Scripts/JumpPad.acs [^]'

I also attached a new image of the THING trigger

I apologize, but I forgot to test 'GZDoom 1.8.06' when I wrote that note; the issue also happens with that specific GZDoom build.

I just took a look at 'GZDoom 1.8.07' [http://gzdoom.drdteam.org/archive/bin/gzdoom-bin-1-8-07.zip ], I was not able to reproduce the problem with that build. Sadly, however, I don't know what all has changed between the releases of GZDoom 1.8.06 and GZDoom 1.8.07. Graf Zahl did not publish any list of changes in the DRDTeam forums ['http://forum.drdteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=6397 [^]' ].

I hope this helps?

By bisecting I found out that the issue is fixed with this zdoom commit:'https://github.com/rheit/zdoom/commit/f482dc094df50a6bf4ae5608dbb564a18bc864fd [^]' , which is present in zandronum-zdoom-sync here:'https://bitbucket.org/Torr_Samaho/zandronum-zdoom-sync/commits/be9c089f2895 [^]' .

That jump pad seems to work correctly now.
