USER_DEFINED markers are not unique, which results in duplication [VIDEO]
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

When user places custom marker on the map, especially while on global channel, if he logs out and logs back in, the marker count resets and starts again from 0, duplicating names of existing markers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqqxPswzyrw

On the server there is no duplicate marker appears in allmapmarkers array, but on client it does.

For some reason the #NUMBER that follows USER_DEFINED does not change upon login out/in, therefore identical marker names are created. It would also be very nice if USER_DEFINED could include channel the marker was placed on as well:

USER_DEFINED_GLOBAL_#123456789
USER_DEFINED_VEHICLE_#123456789
USER_DEFINED_SIDE_#123456789
USER_DEFINED_DIRECT_#123456789
etc

The marker id only changes when user leaves server, if he drops to the lobby and back id is the same

Good news! Becoming a developer seems to help ;-)

More seriously, there are some behaviors coming with the fact a player returns to lobby then plays back. It seems difficult to identify that for playing some script.
If I'm right, player becomes a JIP (if he wasn't) but neither initPlayerLocal nor onPlayerRespawn are run.
Is there a simple way to identify a player's come back? Thanks
