Upon switching to another unit, the prior unit will have it's stance frozen.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

http://youtu.be/aplAkY36ook
When switching to another unit in your squad, the unit/character you had just been using will have it's stance frozen. However, the unit still moves as if nothing else is wrong; it just glides around. This appears to only happen to toggleable stances. Leaning in any direction does not get frozen during a switch.

AI will keep the hitboxes of their stance, but will move as instructed. So, if an AI is prone and frozen in that stance, it can still act, move, and shoot as if on its feet while keeping the prone hitbox. This can lead to exploitation by players to have AI companions who are hard to hit, hard to see, and shoot just as well as an other AI.

Steps To Reproduce

In the editor, place down any amount of units you would like form the same faction. Two would be easiest. Make sure one unit is a team leader and the other is another non-leadership role unit. Make the player the non-leader unit. Once in the game, you can use the "`" or "~" key to use the option "switch to leader".

Once switched to the leader, you can instruct the AI as you please, but it will glide around in whatever stance you left it in. Potentially, you could have an entire squad of snakemen.

Additional Information

This make be related also to another bug where when a player dies and switches to another unit, they lose all sound.
