Summary

0001255: Occasional buggy behavior in Master/Children relationship

Description

When using A_KillMaster in DECORATE statements between tho MONSTER's actual damaging/killing does not happen - leading to unavailability of stable feature of Master/Children relationship

Also buggy with A_KillChildren but it generally works when A_KillMaster generally won't work.

Steps To Reproduce

Actor Looper
{

+ISMONSTER

States
{
Spawn:
CEYE A 4
CEYE AAAAA 0 A_SpawnItemEx("zombieman",random(-75,75),random(-75,75),10,0,0,0,0, SXF_SETMASTER)
CEYE B 4
CEYE C 4 A_KillChildren
Loop
}
}

It works fine. But if you place actor to be children and call A_KillMaster it is broken:

Actor [Something]
{
...
States
{
...
Spawn:
...
XXXX X 0 A_SpawnItemEx("Looper",random(-75,75),random(-75,75),10,0,0,0,0, SXF_SETMASTER)
...
}
...
}

Actor Looper
{

+ISMONSTER

States
{
Spawn:
CEYE A 4
CEYE AAAAA 0
CEYE B 4
CEYE C 4 A_KillMaster
Loop
}
}

Will not work at all!

Additional Information

Tried many variants with completelly rewrited actors and with default monsters to make e.g. zombieman spawned by shotgunguy with A_SpawnItemEx to kill it's spawner shotgunguy
All the same result... Really frustrating.

Also, would be well if A_SpawnItemEx flag SXF_TRANSFERPOINTERS be backported from ZDoom

Notes
(0009203) Watermelon (developer) 2014-06-13 15:59	Does it happen in 2.0?

(0011079) Minigunner (reporter) 2014-12-20 21:57	I've found that this issue is what causes the elevator in one of WhoDunIt's maps to not function properly online. Not only that, but it seems that the A_RemoveChildren function doesn't work on server setups like Best-Ever's, but it works just fine when I run it on a personal server with some other players. I can't test the former with 2.0, but I have tested the latter with 2.0 and it works properly just the same.

(0011080) Dusk (developer) 2014-12-20 22:46	User error - both actors need +ISMONSTER to work and your "[Something]" does not appear to have it. If this is still a problem, please reopen and attach a minimal, working testcase.
