Summary0003027: RandomSpawners do not work online
DescriptionTitle says it all.
Steps To ReproduceHost an online server with the wad I've attached and summon "BonusCluster" -- nothing will happen.

Try it out offline and you'll see it works as intended.
Additional InformationSupposedly this has been broken for a long time, though I'm surprised it has gone unnoticed for so long.
TagsNo tags attached.

You are trying to spawn items that can affect the server from a clientside actor...

Ivan is right. You are incorrectly using CLIENTSIDEONLY. Since BonusCluster is CLIENTSIDEONLY, the server will not spawn RandomBonusCluster and the client is now allowed to spawn HealthBonus or ArmorBonus:

+ - Added new DECORATE actor flag CLIENTSIDEONLY. The server doesn't spawn such actors, the clients spawn them on their own. Therefore, they never should need any network bandwidth. Only use it on actors that don't affect the game in any way (visuals aside) and only use it, if you know what you are doing! [Torr Samaho]
