Player Map Icons not cleaning up on MP Disconnect
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

This bug is related to the default MP missions, such as link.
Players will display a dorito icon on the map, which shows their location and direction the player is currently facing. On player disconnect, the map icon isn't removed or updated unless the same player rejoins back onto the server.

I labeled the task as minor, however this makes players not rely on gps information. This issue exacerbates the TKing issue, and causes unneeded frustration when the map icons are inaccurate.

Steps To Reproduce

have 2 clients(X and Y) join a server running link. Client X and client Y load in, client X disconnects from the server. Client Y will see client x's player icon on the GPS although client X is disconnected from the server.

Additional Information

adding to the handleDisconnect event handler to send an update to the map markers (so they get cleaned up/updated) will fix it.
