If I setVariable with global broadcasting in an object namespace of a recently created object by Zeus in it's "init" phase, the variable is not broadcasted to all clients. In "postInit" this seems to work. If I add a sleep command and wait for a certain amount of time, the variable is also broadcasted in case of "init". So, this seems to me like the object or it's namespace is not available in that early stage and therefore the setVariable command fails to broadcast to all clients. This variable is also missing on the client that used the Zeus mode. See steps to reproduce.

Steps To Reproduce
Put the following code inside a class definition of an object, that is placeable by Zeus. Then spawn the object in Zeus mode (dedicated server and minimum 1 client) and check the 4 variables on the connected clients. The variable "DEBUG_testVar1" will be missing on clients even on the Zeus machine. "DEBUG_testVar2", "DEBUG_testVar3" and "DEBUG_testVar4" will be available.
class EventHandlers
{
init = "params ['_entity']; if (isServer) then { _entity setVariable ['DEBUG_testVar1', 1, true]; [_entity] spawn { params ['_entity']; sleep 1; _entity setVariable ['DEBUG_testVar3', 1, true]; }; };";
postInit = "params ['_entity']; if (isServer) then { _entity setVariable ['DEBUG_testVar2', 1, true]; [_entity] spawn { params ['_entity']; sleep 1; _entity setVariable ['DEBUG_testVar4', 1, true]; }; };";

You are sending a setVariable message, before the object is initialized.
The server will receive the object message after its spawned.
You are sending variable WHILE its being spawned.
The server will receive variable for a object that doesn't exist, and discard it.
Won't fix
