0001877: Spawn functions behave different in survival when spawning from objects that can be moved or removed

Notes
(0009899) ZzZombo (reporter) 2014-07-08 01:08	Some things aren't really removed from the map in the modes where it's possible to reset the map, they are just hidden, so, when a map spot related spawning function is used, they shouldn't consider such hidden things as valid targets.

(0009901) thomas (reporter) 2014-07-08 09:27	That makes sense. Because I while trying to work around this issue, I used changetid so it would not spawn again. But now, it doesn't spawn after the first round. It seems that if you use changetid and the round is over, it doesn't change back to it's original TID either.

That's necessary to respawn them when the map is reset. Apparently they are not hidden well enough for your purposes though. I'll have to look at your example wad in detail and will see how to fix this in Zandronum. The behavior with the TID you mentioned sounds like a separate bug. Please open a new ticket for this (if there is no ticket yet).

This was with 3.1 online and offline.

From the looks of it, it seems to be some user error. Quote from thomas Using the attached testwad go to map01 in survival. In this map, a zobieman is spawned in the room, however, it is immidiately removed using thing_remove in an open script. The example wad is wrong, the zombieman isn't even removed properly from the looks of it. In addition, the shotgunner is spawned before the would-be spot is removed. However, after fixing the example wad I can confirm that you can indeed spawn from a hidden thing in survival mode, and that it is now fixed. Thanks, Ru5tK1ng!
