NW2Vars Breaks under certain conditions

[RaphaelIT7]

Details

The NW2 System seems to break clientside, if you create the same entity twice but delayed by a few ticks and then creating an Entity that is based on that entity. I don't know how to describe it the best, but it seems like the Client gets somehow confused with the NW2 Vars, and starts screwing them up. The example provided shows the Entity class changing and the same NW2Var getting updated multiple times clientside. It can also happen that the NW2Vars of other entities get set on the Bugged one, or the other way around.

This Bug won't exist, if you host the server. (But only for you.)

Steps to reproduce

Files needed

You can create all files yourself, or you could just download the folder from this repo

entities/testing.lua

if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile() end

ENT.Type = "anim"
function ENT:NW()
    self:SetNW2String("Baum", "Haus")
    self:SetNW2Int("Hi", 1)
end

function ENT:Initialize()
    self:SetModel("models/props_junk/PlasticCrate01a.mdl")
    self:NW()
end

entites/testing_2.lua

if SERVER then AddCSLuaFile() end

ENT.Type = "anim"
ENT.Base = "testing"

function ENT:NW()
    self:SetNW2String("Test2", "NW2-Bug")
end

autorun/bug.lua

function BreakNW2(stop)
    local ent = ents.Create("testing")
    ent:Spawn()

    timer.Simple(1, function()
        ent:Remove()
        if !stop then
            BreakNW2(true)
        end

        timer.Simple(0.5, function()
            local ent2 = ents.Create("testing_2")
            ent2:Spawn()
            timer.Simple(1, function()
                ent2:Remove()
            end)
        end)
    end)
end

hook.Add("PlayerInitialSpawn", "", function()
    timer.Simple(5, function()
        BroadcastLua([[hook.Add("EntityNetworkedVarChanged", "", print)]])

        BreakNW2(false)
    end)
end)

Five seconds after spawning, you're going to see something like this in your console:

Entity [85][testing]    Baum    nil Haus -- First Entity
Entity [85][testing]    Hi  nil 1
Entity [89][testing]    Baum    nil Haus -- Second Entity
Entity [89][testing]    Hi  nil 1
Entity [90][testing_2]  Test2   nil NW2-Bug -- Fist Entity based of the testing Entity
Entity [85][testing_2]  Test2   nil NW2-Bug -- Second Entity based of the testing Entity. (This one will break)
Entity [85][testing]    Baum    nil Haus
Entity [85][testing]    Hi  nil 1
Entity [85][testing_2]  Test2   nil NW2-Bug
Entity [85][testing]    Baum    nil Haus
Entity [85][testing]    Hi  nil 1
Entity [85][testing_2]  Test2   nil NW2-Bug
Entity [85][testing]    Baum    nil Haus
Entity [85][testing]    Hi  nil 1
Entity [85][testing_2]  Test2   nil NW2-Bug
