Splendid Camera / UAV Permanent Control Failure
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

I was idly flying a UAV (The Sentinel) in the Editor when at some point I decided to use Splendid Camera to look at it. After being irritated by Splendid Camera's not so splendid refusal to reacclimatize to lighting after switching N modes, I decided to exit it and return to controlling the drone.

And lo, upon unpausing the game...every control died. Except for the map and other random and pointless things. There was no mouse menu. There was no mouse control. There was no WASD. All that was left was the visage of the drone AI reassuming control, content merely to...circle.

This is actually really bad, I was trapped there for the rest of the session.

Steps To Reproduce

1: Control a UAV
2: While controlling said UAV, enter the Splendid Camera.
3: Exit the camera. If you suddenly lose control to the AI, congratulations.

Additional Information

This is less important but was going to be a bug report on it's own before the above happened.

The collision lights are permanently turned on by the AI at 4AM Mission time. There is no option to turn them off 'personally' and the UAV Terminal's light setting doesn't work. The lights are just always on, forever giving away your position.

I used the lights to find a Sentinel with a Cheetah when the Radar couldn't even pick it up.

Update: In the middle of a Multiplayer game bouncing between an Artillery Panel and a UAV, the UAV was shot down (I think) and the bug occurred again. I was required to force respawn to fix it.
