Hi,

sometimes tank become frozen. I don't know what plugin cause this.

He still has MoveType == 2 (walk), Area is surely clear. I tried to teleport him manually, no luck.
He can paw with claw when you get close to him.

But, no move.

Do you know how to force him to make moving again?

Thanks.

Actually, it's a loss of tank control issue.

Similar problem: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?p=2133193
with exception: in my case, tank doesn't raise "player_incapacitated" event.

How to reproduce:
- spawn tank
- kick bots
- set fly mode to self and fly inside texture (e.g. under the tank)
- wait for ~ 30 sec. and return to tank = he is frozen.

P.S. Also some unfinished discussion: https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=101998

I tried to reproduce initial tank state (before loss of control) by applying all properties on him, still no luck.

void ReproduceProp(int target)
{
	PrintToChatAll("Reproducing properties on %N ...", target);

	KeyValues kv;
	char sItem[16], sName[64], sValue[64];
	int iValue;
	float fValue, vValue[3];
	
	kv = CreateKeyValues("tank");
	
	if (FileToKeyValues(kv, "kvtest.txt")) {
		PrintToChatAll("kvtest.txt is Loaded");
		
		kv.Rewind();
		kv.GotoFirstSubKey();
		
		do
		{
			kv.GetSectionName(sItem, sizeof(sItem));
			
			kv.GetString("Name", sName, sizeof(sName));
			
			if (HasEntProp(target, Prop_Send, sName)) {
			
				PrintToChatAll("Name: %s", sName);
				
				switch(kv.GetNum("type")) {
					case 0: { // integer
						iValue = kv.GetNum("value");
						SetEntProp(target, Prop_Send, sName, iValue);
						PrintToChatAll("%s = %i", sName, iValue);
					}
					case 1: { // float
						fValue = kv.GetFloat("value");
						SetEntPropFloat(target, Prop_Send, sName, fValue);
						PrintToChatAll("%s = %f", sName, fValue);
					}
					case 2: { // vector
						kv.GetVector("value", vValue);
						SetEntPropVector(target, Prop_Send, sName, vValue);
						PrintToChatAll("%s = %f %f %f", sName, vValue[0], vValue[1], vValue[2]);

					case 4: { // string
						kv.GetString("value", sValue, sizeof(sValue), "error");
						if (!StrEqual(sValue, "error")) {
							SetEntPropString(target, Prop_Send, sName, sValue);
							PrintToChatAll("%s = %s", sName, sValue);
						}
					}
				}
			}
		} while (kv.GotoNextKey());
		
		ChangeEdictState(target, 0);
	}
	else {
		PrintToChatAll("kvtest.txt file is not found!");
	}
}

Is there a ConVar that control how many time tank can be idle until it loss control?

[midnight9]

Is that what you meant?

z_frustration_lifetime 
z_frustration_los_delay  
z_frustration_spawn_delay

I believe these cvars from my old versus server controlled how long the tank could be idle before loosing control:

PHP Code:

sm_cvar z_frustration_spawn_delay 35    // (default: 10  "Grace period" after spawning where you do not lose rage.)
sm_cvar z_frustration_lifetime 35        // (default: 20 Frustration will accumulate for this many seconds before passing tank.) 


Hope that helps,
PG

Thank you midnight9 and PatriotGames.

Unfortunately, it didn't help.
I tried to change all 3 cvars to -1, to 999 or to 100.
But tank still losing his ability to move after ~15 sec. when I hide myself in textures.

Also, I checked all existed ConVars with values range 12-18, but I found nothing related to tank or director.
Actually, only one:
director_build_up_min_interval : 15 : GAMEDLL|CHEAT :
but it is not helped.

What about "tank_stuck_failsafe" convar?

[Dragokas]

My colleague did something and they stopped getting stuck.
I need to compare the difference between two backups.

Thanks you, cravenge! I will check it with my old build.
