Description

One of our members was jumping hills in a V3S (making some sort of Evel Knievel vid) and this happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL-iW5Guc4o

Player is able to leave the V3S while its under the map and can't be seen or harmed, but can harm other players.

Steps To Reproduce

First you must acquire a V3S, try and have a passenger so you have twice the odds and a witness regarding your characters visible state. Then find yourself a hill (this was capture south of Berez and I imagine it works best with a rise in terrain as your target) and launch off it. The V3S should sink below the ground while your player cam rests on the ground. Now this is where Camrun (the ZAP member recording) relogs to escape the bug, but Mordon (also ZAP) gets out of the V3S.

In doing so he is left (until relog) able to move and harm players while remaining unseen/untouchable. He was not able to interact with items on the ground or in the vicinity.

Additional Information

This was the first time I've heard of it as it was considered classified by those in channel at the time. I've been told this is the 2nd of 3 times it was attempted and each time they were able to recreate it. I believe you just need the right hill/speed.

The 1st time this happened (again before the footage above) they both jumped out of the V3S and were invisible (to each other) before relog. So this time they wanted to see the extent of this exploit and record it in order to submit a report.

Hi HugoStiglitz and thanks for the detailed report!
We have confirmed the issue and it has been scheduled for a fix.

Awesome! Figured you guys were on it, but after seeing the vid I had to be sure.

Forgive me for being rather curious, but could it only be linked to 1st person? I coulda sworn there was a kill volume, but its clear his cam never drops below the terrain. Seems like the cam and character are ultimately separated.

Also what happens to trucks/characters that don't die under the map? Are they in free fall till restart or is there a ground plane?
