Description

If you try to teleport player from init.sqf it will do so for the 1st player joining mission. JIP player will not teleport physically but only theoretically

Steps To Reproduce

put this in init.sqf

if (!isDedicated) then {

waitUntil {!isNull player};
waitUntil {time > 0};
_ppos = getPos player;
player setPos [0,0,0];
hint format ["spawn pos: %1\nteleport to: [0,0,0]\ncurrent pos %2", _ppos, getPos player];

};

start dedicated server and join, you will appear in the water

hint will show

spawn pos: (your editor position) [whatever not important]
teleport to [0,0,0]
current pos [0,0,0] - in the water where you are all good

drop to the lobby and back....you are at default editor position not at [0,0,0] in the water, but hint shows

spawn pos: (your editor position) [whatever not important]
teleport to [0,0,0]
current pos [0,0,0]

again! "current pos" is getpos player after teleport. A. you never teleported as you should and B. getpos player shows you are teleported when you didn't!
