Summary

0003252: Issues with A_SkullPop or PlayerChunk's

Description

I noticed that when you suicide ingame with a class that has A_SkullPop, and while the PlayerChunk actor is still in midair, and you immediately spectate, the spectator will present some strange behaviours and also will have a chance to crash Zandronum. The effects are different Online and Offline.

Steps To Reproduce

I tested this on Doom2 using a mod, and then on Heretic (without mods) to check if the mod i was using was causing such effects, and confirmed that the issue happened on both wads

- Start Heretic
- Join the game
- Kill in console
- While your camera / the PlayerChunk is still in midair, spectate
- Try to roam around spectating

Additional Information

The Offline and Online effects are:

Offline:
- The speed of the spectator will increase and decrease randomly
- When touching a wall, you will be able to see through it (like using the "noclip" cheat)
- You wont be able to move on certain areas, as if the spectator radius increases and decreases itself randomly
- Zandronum will have a chance to crash (thought its rare, only happened once, i wasnt able reproduce the crash again)

Online:
- Only the "See through walls like noclip" effect happens, i dont know if it might also have a chance to crash

Edit: Just confirmed that when the PlayerChunk actor is on the ground, and the player spectates, the same issues will occur (Just pointing that im using 3.0-alpha-r170806-2040) Edit2: Ignore the "Spectator radius increasing and decreasing randomly" thing, turns out that a similar effect was happening because i was using chasecam, my bad Edit3: Just tested the issue on older 3.0 alpha versions and 2.1.2 and the same issue is still happening, but i dont know if it also might crash in these, since im still not able to reproduce the crash

(0018237) Dusk (developer) 2017-09-07 20:48	I can confirm that the spectator radius is significantly smaller when spectating from a PlayerChunk. Looks like the spectator remains as the chunk actor. Since this can be reproduced with vanilla Heretic, there is no need to provide any example wad.
