Weighted Button breaks cooperative puzzles

LautaroL20 commented 4 years ago

Description of the bug:

Happens only in coop puzzles.
Can only be caused by the client (P-Body).
Can happen by accident or willingly.

How it happens:

The client steps on a floor_button for a very short time or jumps repeatedly.
The outputs of the button will (at some point) get reversed.

The bad outcome:

Whatever is connected with that button will then be permanently toggled, which leads to broken puzzles and/or confused players, here is a screenshot:

Weighted Button issue

Why this bug should be fixed as soon as possible:

Breaks puzzles causing lot of exploits.
Leads to confusion causing the players to think that this button´s behavior was on purpose and not a bug.
Might lead to negative feedback/dislikes.
Can happen on all cooperative puzzles.

In the following link there is an example of a possible solution to this issue that could serve in order to implement something similar on Beemod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1063363358

@Luke18033 - This issue is serious enough to deserve to be pinned. Also, recently i have been testing this bug with a friend and it actually can happen easily than i thought, so, a solution for this must be an high priority.

There are lots of major exploits or even crashes involving specific BEE or vanilla items, and I don't think this one in particular warrants being pinned considering most people aren't even aware of it. I'll leave this pinned for now, but if something else comes along which seems more important I'm going to unpin this so we can use the third slot.

Also, has anyone actually tested to see if this still happens in the latest BEE version? It's possible it could have been fixed by the connection system redesign.
