shocking bug

[HUNJA]

Looks more like cheating

[robert4392]

yes it looks like cheating but it aint because it is the owner of that server who is flying around in air, and i'm a 100 % sure he would not cheat in his own server

btw. he moved exactly on the same way as a sparrow normally does

[ThatGuy]

Could it just be some horrible lag of some sort?

[norby89]

exactly the same thing happened to my sparrow but I was playing MTA:VC

[robert4392]

Could it just be some horrible lag of some sort?

nope it aint lag because he stayed in that sparrow until the map ended and he did not change into a sparrow.

i don't think that if he was laggy he would not change into a sparrow after more than 5-6 minutes

btw. maybe the MTA team could tell why he didn't turn into a sparrow maybe it has got something to get with the synchronization?

[SamB]

this is what i think:

when someone changes vehicles it must tell everyone in the server that the person has. some people (or everyone) are sometimes missed.

or it could be client side, not recieving or missing the command.

[ThatGuy]

Well i tried doing the same thing in the Map Editor and it worked fine.

So im just gonna go with what SamB said cos that actually sounds the most logical, lol.

[robert4392]

yes i think thats the most logical reason

something like that happens all the time in gta3. the dodo gets desynced and it looks like someone is swooping around in a car

its even funnier when someone turns into a car in GTA3

This can happen on a map with vehicle changers with high respawn timer:

At map start, all changers are visible. One player picks it up, the vehicle changer disappears for all other players on this server.

Now, a new player connects to the server, and he spawns. In "his" world, all vehicle changers are visible...

He drives over an item, and became a plane, heli or so.

For the other players from the original map start, he drives over an inactive vehicle changer, so nothing changes...

[rockstarrem]

What?

[norby89]

your theory might be correct TheLaus, I wonder if it really works..

[Guest]

You can easily check it out for yourself. We have this bug nearly every time with the OJChase3 map:

All Pickups there have a very high respawntime.

Map starts, one catches the Ranger, others different police vehicles.

After a few minutes, some players joined, chances are good to see flying cars, just because the newcomers will have an "untouched" map with all "already used" pickups being unused.

So they fly with a heli in their world, but for the other ones, they fly with cars.

You may also notice, that newcomers will chase an other OJ car...

funny to read the dutch things they say, like "How to make a screen??" but it just looks verry weird...

[ARMax]

I couldnt be arsed reading all those posts, so i will assume this wasnt already mentioned.. This can be reproduced by doing the following: Getting someone to pickup a vehicle changer with about 1 min respawn, Making someone else join (They will still see a pickup).. Get them to pick it up.. and there, he has a heli while you all see cars.
