Portable Flashers can flash very quickly #7498

Open Mirino97 opened 2 years ago

Mirino97 commented 2 years ago

Description

Portable Flashers seem to randomly flash quickly (maybe every tick?) resulting in hundreds of flash a minute. It seems like they have no delay, detecting and reacting to every frame of player movement.

I can't replicate this, could you list some specific steps to replicate it? Trying it out on locally, it seems to be working just as intended.

Mirino97 commented 2 years ago

Sure can! I wrote this at like, 4 am and I was dead tired, so I didn't go out and test it. If I can replicate it successfully, I'll write the steps down here. If not, I'll close the issue 'till I see the problem again.

Mirino97 commented 2 years ago

I couldn't reproduce the issue I saw while in-game. It is either a very weird flasher bug that somehow happens when 3 or more people are involved, or it's somehow related to latency.

I shall make a new issue if I ever get it happen again!

Emisse commented 2 years ago

ive had it happen on server but cannot replicate it locally, might be latency involved or something

Mirino97 commented 2 years ago

I've managed to record it.

It possibly has something to do with latency AND also, possibly, with lack of energy? Maybe it somehow flashes once for every time the area's apc ran outta juice? Just guessing here. [LOUD VOLUME AT END OF VIDEO WARNING]
