OnPlayerStateChange in vehicle bug

[PazzOnee]

If you are in vehicle (PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER OR PLAYER_STATE_PASSANGER), and you die, OnPlayerStateChange will output oldstate PLAYER_STATE_SPAWNED, and newstate PLAYER_STATE_NONE, than PLAYER_STATE_ONFOOT, so if i try make per player timer when they sit as driver, and die, timer won't kill when newstate != PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER

In samp this work correctly, when player die in vehicle, oldstate first is PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER, than others

code example

static speedoMeter[MAX_PLAYERS] = {-1, ...};

OnPlayerStateChange(playerid, newstate, oldstate)
{
    if(oldstate == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER) 
    {
        KillTimer(speedoMeter[playerid]);
    }
    if(newstate == PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER)
    {
        speedoMeter[playerid] = SetTimerEx(...);
    }
}

So, sit in vehicle as driver, kill yourself (SetPlayerHealth(...)), or explode in gas station, then see that oldstate will not be PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER, though you was PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER

Couldn't reproduce this with latest nightly

@Hual I just download latest build and i can confirm i can reproduce it, not fixed. So, when you are in vehicle (PLAYER_STATE_DRIVER), do SetPlayerHealth to 0.0 to kill yourself, print oldstate and newstate in public OnPlayerStateChange, and you will see that oldstate isnt PLAYER_STATE_VEHICLE, but 17:01:27 > "oldstate: PLAYER_STATE_NONE, newstate: PLAYER_STATE_SPAWNED", 17:01:27 > "oldstate: PLAYER_STATE_SPAWNED, newstate: PLAYER_STATE_ONFOOT"

Are you using spectating functions too? The only place I can see where player state is set to NONE is in setSpectating()

[PazzOnee]

@Hual When i use spectating functions all is alright. If you want i can share you screen on discord and reproduce it live

[Hual]

@PazzOnee do you have any calls to TogglePlayerSpectating in OnPlayerDeath?

@Hual I just download latest build and i can confirm i can reproduce it, not fixed.

Was it the one from releases section or a build from github actions (like this)?

UPD: Anyway, both variants works good for me, I also tried to test this and can't face the issue. Maybe try to test this on a blank gamemode (without anything else, but only OnPlayerStateChange logging) and see if this still occurs.

[PazzOnee]

It test it on blank mode, it would be bug in weapon-config i think, but when i use samp-server it's okay, i will close this

[PazzOnee]

It is weapon-config.inc bug, in WC_PlayerDeathRespawn callback, there are TogglePlayerSpectating to true, then to false, when you replace it with SpawnPlayer, then will be fixed, so i will open issue at weapon config include

[NexiusTailer]

Oh, this probably used there to immediate spawn a player without additional death delay. SpawnPlayer does this too, but it can cause a double spawn (the one which is still pending + the next which was just set by the function). So, fixing it in wc by changing TogglePlayerSpectating to anything else like SpawnPlayer could lead to new issues.

[PazzOnee]

Okay, we found where is problem, so i will close this issue, and open it at weapon config

[Hual]

It's an open.mp issue, should be reopened
