Duplicating facehuggers

Post by DernSquirres » 13 Mar 2015, 23:14

Bug Description: As an alien, you can duplicate facehuggers by slapping them onto a monkey.


Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Be an alien
  2. Grab a facehugger
  3. Slap it onto a monkey
  4. Watch as one hugger will plomp onto the monkey and one will fall out of your hands
(Optional) Other notes:]
The facehugger that falls out of your hands mimics the hugger that is currently on the monkey you've infested. What I'm saying here is that if the hugger on the monkey dies, so does that duplicated hugger. If the hugger on the monkey infests the monkey and dies, then so will the dupe'd hugger.

The duplicated alien isn't an alien, it's just an item. You can't use it as a real hugger, if you try to use it as one it'll give you the "alien drone (number) attacked monkey (number) with the alien!"

Yup, It's a ghost item. Sometimes, when you place a hat on Ian and remove it, the same thing happened.

Still should be fixed, sometimes you can confuse it with a real hugger.

I have absolutly no idea what causes this, but i know how to fix it:

Disable huggers for NPC monkies (which isn't going to happen)

I believe, it *might* have something to do, with how huggers attach and generate item positions on HUDs.

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.
