Hi,

it is often happen to me, weapon_spawn is disappearing from the table in saferoom when players transitioning from previous map.
But, if I reload the same map (via ForceChangeLevel) the weapon is located on the table as it should.

Any ideas how to troubleshoot it?

I think it may be that the author of the custom map did not do a good job of transition related content

[Dragokas]

@HarryPotter, yes.

@sorallll, I guess you're right in my case. Actually it was only one custom map, which constantly suffering.
Co-admin said, the Stripper also doesn't help to spawn weapon there.

Looks like, need to spawn it with a little delay.

I encountered this issue before, I share what I did to reduce the possibility.

1. I used many spawn plugins by silvers and spawn lots of weapons and items on map.
I found that if I spawn a machine gun or gun cabinet or even Laser Box in end saferoom, next stage all weapons are disappearing and all survivor players were teleported into map center origin(0,0,0).
My method is to remove all possible end safe room zone entities spawned by plugin or stripper.

My guess is that because server saves laser box entity on map transition, but the next map didn't precache and load laser box model on default, so weapon transition function stops continue and return because of it.

2. When I start to write multislots and try to create 5+ survivor bots.
If the plugin spawn 5+ survivor bots too early after the map loads, this bug could happen.
I think because server saves players' items and restores them, on next stage the plugin spawn 5+ survivor bots too early and messed up weapon transition function.

My solution is to spawn 5+ survivor bot after "player_spawn" and "round_start" events.


Not 100% work for you, good luck.

@HarryPotter, thanks for detalied research description!

@Bacardi, what exactly did you mean?
Ahh, you mean this one:

Checkpoint bounds: 2075.000000 4800.000000 298.428253 --> 2800.000000 5450.000000 598.428223 and has 8 weapon spawns

[Bacardi]

there were console outputs of saving and restoring entities, but some of them are outside of checkpoint area.
