Extremely Odd Moment (glitch?)
« on: September 03, 2006, 03:59:54 pm »
so there I was; average day, average game (or so I thought). the map was big falls, team deathmatch. all the teams had 2 people on em except for alpha (which had 1 guy), so I joined alpha. i took a second to select my weapon, but suddenly realized something wasnt right. I was moving, but I wasnt pushing any keys. upon further investigation I noticed that my soldat was indeed following my other teammate. I watched in awe, as when he fired, I fired. when he ran right or left, I ran the same way. if he jumped, I jumped too. wherever he went, I zipepd right there. every time someone threw a nade at us, or shot us, I took the blow and died, while he remained fine (though his newfound human-shield was no longer there to protect him). then, when I spawned, Id immediately zip right over to where he was, through walls and all. he soon acused me of hacking. I tried to type "no im not, I have no clue whats going on!" but when I pressed enter, nothing happened. I tried typing other things aswell, but to no avail. it then occured to me that if he could control my movements, perhaps I could too. and, much to my amazement, I could indeed make him stop dead in his tracks, jump, and even fire when I did. I played around with it for a bit, we both got slaughtered like pigs (though he got a few kills thanks to my body taking all the hits).

don't believe me? think Im totally B.S.ing? think again, for I now know how to record demos, and my friends, this is quite a demo to be seen. click here (1,550 kb) to watch this mind-boggling event, and please, if you know what the heck happened, lemme know. Ive never heard of this glitch before, and never had it happen any other time to me.
lol siggeh deleted for the 7th time! that's like a new record or something, ain't it?

I think its a screw-up in the Soldat Programming, or the Server waz extremely screwed up, because it's happened to me too on U13 TM at 1 point, I waz like WTF?????? and the server kicked me for cheating -.-, dont ask me though, its happened to me, but It also has happened to me so that I jsut couldnt control my Soldat in a regualr DM and the dude waz pwning who waz suing me -.-

Its strange, why not ask Michal about it :P

That's pretty crazy to be honest.  I want it to happen to me, seems like it could be a fun time =D

Although, if both of you were pushing in opposite directions, you'd stand in one place and get slaughtered, right?  Or does it take whichever action prompted is newest?  Sorry if that sounds weird. . . will it just cancel eachother's actions out, or take whoever presses a button last?

this has happened to me atleast 6 times. it hasnt happened recently to me but i have an idea of what happens wrong. this almost always happens when someone joins or switches teams, i think that basically there is are 2  arrays that has 0-31(there is too to prevent some packet loss issues) and each layer is set to true if there is a player, then there is a couple variables set to each number such as name a position from 1-50 and another 1-50, then some that determines exactly where and other variables that relate to the soldat. the problem is that too characters get the same identifier(0-31), so then your positions are close to each other and when one dies it sends the stuff back to its array which then is sychronizes with the other array. NOTE:this is just my programming mind kicking in, it may be completely wrong but most likely it has some revelance to what is happening.

This has happened to me twice before, and luckily, both times someone recognized that I wasn't hacking, it was just a strange bug. :D

Yes, 'tis a bug...I forget how it happens...I used to think it was when 2 people join the same team at the same time. I think the only way to fix is to leave then rejoin.

That has happened to me a few times. I usually rejoin a few times and it gets fixed.

It's pretty fun, though.
