Title: Strange bug
Post by: MiDiaN on November 01, 2004, 07:38:13 am

I found a bug when I was playing last night. When I was Human with Flamethrower and died and then switched to Aliens and Soldier, I had flame coming from me when i was walking... I seems that nobody else could'nt see it, only me.

The flame didnt go forward, it just stands still, you have to run backwards to see the flame.

Each weapon (optionally) has a particle system attached to the muzzle. What probably happened is that you died whilst firing the flamer, and the deactivation event has not been triggered. I have seen this happen in the past, but I thought I had fixed it. I guess what i'll do is to unconditionally deactivate all muzzle particle systems when the player dies.

I don't suppose it said "WARNING: tried to destroy a NULL particle system" in the console right after you died with the flamer did it? It would be printed in yellow, so quite hard to miss.
