Steps To Reproduce
- log in as game master
- create GM avatar (space)
- select GM avatar and play (space)
- if the GM avatar does not have a long-rang radio backpack, spawn an arsenal and equip one
- press G, note that you have two tunable channels (correct), or three if you are a combat signaler (possibly not correct?).
- return to the GM interface (hold Y)
- double click on the map to create a friendly NPC (any)
- take control of the NPC (C)
- leave the NPC (hold Y)
- select the GM avatar and play (space)
- press G, note that you now have 4 tuneable radios, or 6 if you are a signaler.
- repeat
- each time you swap back to the GM player, note that the number of tunable frequencies has increased by 2 (or 3 if you are a combat signaler)
Additional Information
- confirmed both online and offline.
- although the number of tunable frequencies accessed by pressing G increases each time you swap bodies, the actual number of radios equipped does not.
- starting the GM player with 1 or more normal (non-backpack) radios does not appear to cause this bug.
- although the combat signaler class starts with 2 physical radios (the backpack and a short-range), they start with THREE tunable channels, and each time the GM controls an NPC, the channels increase by 3.
- note that the system does not remember what channel you had selected. when you return to the GM avatar, the first available radio channel will be tuned, even if you left the avatar with the second channel tuned.
