Wrongful death glitch

Post by perrinoia »

Last night, I found out that if you respawn and then your dead body gets det packed, your new body explodes.

I was spamming detpacks when my opponent complained that he was exploding when he was no where near the explosions, and then he found me and killed me. My body must have fallen down into the det pack pile, and my new body exploded back at my base while using the inventory station.

Either that, or someone else was det packing at the same time.

The death messages did not reveal the shooter's name.

If I'm right about the glitch, then it's an easy fix. Just need to check if player is dead in player::onDamage and return.
