Craziest bug ever

Any explanation as to why this would occur? Guys flying and disappearing and stuff. Map was fine yesterday, republished today, but didn't do anything too crazy. No other maps on the server were having this issue.

    That looks like server de-syncing to me. Server loses where the players are and maybe gamestate tracking.

    Do you have any kismet in there?

    Is this map throwing any Map Check errors at all?

    What about objectives? Any complexity?

    Have you accidentally duplicated a pylon, etc?

    Only to load some AKBanks

    Only some shadow and collision things, but those were already there in the prior build when everythign was working. I also get some lighting errors, but those were also there before.

    Not particularly, also didn't change those in the new build.

    Don't think so. Don't any pylons.

    I republished this morning and just ran through it with Roach and with two people there doesn't seem to be an issue. We'll see how it goes on a full server.

    What do they even do? From what I'm reading it only is needed with bots.

    What is the error that Map Check gives for no pylon? I forget. Guess it won't say Paths Need to be Rebuilt if there are no paths...

    :p

    Paths still need to be rebuilt if you have stuff like ladders and volumes. However, I don't think I've had a pylon in any map I've built and never had issues.

    Search ... Edit > Find Actors "Pylon"

    I bet you DO have one then. They are built into templates (unless you start from scratch?)

    Can't have Paths without a Pylon.

    Nope, none. :lol:

    I'll throw one in for fun, but I don't think it does anything without any AI type stuff.

    Ive always used a pylon and built paths etc.. even though we dont got AI.

    Apparently a pylon is the brains of the operation and they define available playspace inside any volumes etc..
    If my trollery drives you crazy, you'd better put on your seatbelt.

    It's happening again :anguished:. This time I have the Pylon and such, no idea what can be causing this.

    Maybe it has something to do with the Kill Z value or -Z axis? I'm not experienced at UMM, but heard someone talk about this before.

    Nah, Z-Kill just makes it so that if you go below a certain point in the map, people will just die. I'm going to try building lights without Global Illumination, not sure if it'll make a difference, but it sure builds a ton faster.

    Your not using terrain for the ground are you? (rather than using landscape?)

    Reason I ask is I've seen some wacky stuff happen when people have used terrain on their UMMs.. things like players sinking in the ground.. the floor looking like its disappearing, jaggies all over the place.. etc..

    Just landscape. Although we just tried it out and in one part of the map we were getting really weird stuff, but the rest was fine. In the middle rubbing against anything would make you go super fast, you could walk through a wall or two, there was an invisible wall, few other strange things.

    I did find some random brushes and an AABuilding actor around the map when I went to the Scene viewer, maybe they were responsible.

    I've only just been able to view your video as I've been on mobile all weekend and for some odd reason YT videos don't playback in my chrome app :(

    There's no special volumes placed around the areas these things happen? for example a physics volume? or maybe even a blocking volume slightly clipping into the playspace anywhere?

    Sure is a crazy bug, it's got me scratching my head :lol:

    I did notice a random physics volume that was randomly placed somewhere. But not sure if that's something that's there by default.

    Still getting this bug. I'm kind of lost. If anyone can help and take a look at the map, I'd appreciate it.

    As a note, this does not occur in single player mode, only MP.
