Lightsources stop giving light after being swallowed alive

Post by Dyne » 23 Oct 2015, 22:56

Bug Description:
A flashlight (and some other lightsources, like an underbarrel light) do not create a "light zone" around a marine after being swallowed (alive) by an alien.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Be swallowed.
2. Be spit out.
3. Enjoy the darkness.

EDIT: Changed the name to be precise
Natalie 'Snow-Cries-a-lot' Reyes

This happens under all sorts of circumstances which I can't recall too clearly, but it includes flashlights in your pocket being considered "off" by the game when you take out your primary weapon from your armour slot for the first time.
All you need to do is refresh the flashlights by re-equipping them wherever they belong to fix the issue in-game.
Long live our Soviet motherland,
Built by the people's mighty hand.
Long live our people, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire.
Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.
