Death during spawn countdown
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

In multiple situations on different maps and location it still happens that you spawn in the air / in another teammate or inside an object.
This usually kills you or injures you heavily. This is very annoying as you will not be able to take part in that round.

What I want:
If you die before the preparation countdown hits 0:

  1. Re spawn instantly (or after the countdown hits 0) on a different location. (respawn)
  2. Do not add a death for dying in the preparation / countdown screen.

After the countdown hits 0:

  1. Heal injuries. (player setDamage 0)

This should be a workaround for many troubled spawn locations

Agreed. While K/D is not my biggest concern, pointless death scores still leave a sour aftertaste in my mouth to the point where I take the option of not spawning into consideration.

In the round right now i also spawned on top of a flag pole.... died when the starting timer hit 0.

Suicides within 3s of the end of the counter should also give a free respawn....

Hi. Thanks for your feedback and also thanks for your example of solution.
We will investigate it closer. This is thing that you really don´t want to happens.

Maybe just add a parachute?

This was just to good not to share it ;)

Really nice catch. We are working on these problems so I hope that they disappear ASAP. Or we add a parachute :D.

Experienced this on 2017-06-03 03:13:18 EST.
I spawned then another teammate spawned on me and we got injured to death.

Some players were respawned in a started round (end of countdown) and died upon spawn instead of spectating. I don't remember what the game mode was, but of course it was NOT LINK.
I don't have more info yet.

The mode does not matter much, but this occurs when 2 players respawn inside of each other, thus killing each other as well....

Even with yourself.

↑ The same player dying over and over on itself.
↑ The virus to create zombies is not yet ready ;)

This issue should be already solved thanks to failsafe mechanism after starting countdown.
