Being ghosted does not prevent cloning

Post by sicktrigger » 11 Mar 2016, 09:24

Bug Description: While you are ghosted it is possible to still be wrenched into a new body from the cloner.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Die
2. Ghost
3. Be cloned while still a ghost

i was floating next to the cloning tube at the time, might have been why it happened

Possible Solutions: remove cloning

That happened to me once, but I was on the exact same tile as my body. Might've been the reason.

If memory serves you'll get a message popup should someone try to clone you while ghosted to give you a chance to return to your body. If you don't the body can't be cloned and most people will toss it out and try a different one.

If you ghost BEFORE you die - you can't be clonned. If you ghost after you die and then somehow return to your body when it is in cloning pad - you will be cloned.

Now that is just downright strange. I'll try to reproduce that next time I get to clone someone. I've had a strange lack of cloning necessary recently... Probably less marines dragging their buddies back.

Also, if you were scanned before you died and are in the cloning machine's records, it'll force you into the body. Ghosting only prevents the scan from succeeding.

You got lucky buddy, I'm more worrying about NOT being CLONED in the first place. Instead of being cloned, the Doc/Medic at the time with IC Rule of power to clone is ridiculous. However if you do not wish to be clone, ghost again. Problem solve, and LET the DOCTOR know you ghosted, I see many SDD people as Doctor.

Why were you ghosting when your corpse was brought to the sulaco and the doctor had a chance to clone you? thats being a dick to the doctor that was treating you, just like when you get arrested by an MP and you ghost or go ssd.

If you do not wanted to be clone, LOOC the Doctor that you going to ghost, and you do not want to be cloned. Then remained a ghost and haunt the alien who kill you.
