Re: Alien facehugger sprite does not appear on marines sometimes
I've had this happen to me several times, though I try to just throw up a quick LOOC noting that I have a Sprite Bug on. Though, it can be quite painful during mid fights.

Was the carrier the one who facehugged that marine?

Inferrnus it happens with all castes and it's random when it does but most the time it's when the marine stands still and the caste is running a facehugs the marine.

I've got some video evidence:
My theory is that if you get facehugged by a "flying" (in throwing state) facehugger, your face sprite won't update.

If you would permaban a player, you owe it to him to look into his logs and hear his side of the story. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the player does not deserve to be banned.

Re: Alien facehugger sprite does not appear on marines sometimes
Alright, I have confirmed the bug. Here's what happens:
Shortly after being thrown(by any alien, not only the carrier), the facehugger is in a "thrown" state (visible because of its sprite). If someone walks into that facehugger, he gets facehugged, but the icon is not updated.

Re: Alien facehugger sprite does not appear on marines sometimes
I had another instance of this happening, with different circumstances.
When I took an alien off the bursted host, the sprite disappeared, but when I put the used facehugger back on the body's face, it did not reappear.
Similarly, I was once infected, and tried to take an alien off my face when I woke up. I was quickly tackled and I did not manage to actually take it off, but the sprite disappeared regardless.

Almost forgot this one. Fixed.
