If you die while previewing as Zeus, you get stuck in a dead body.

Description

When previewing an editor level, I switched to Zeus.

While as Zeus, the player character got killed.

The camera returned to the dead body, but there was no way to quit - pressing escape didn't do anything. Bringing up the map showed the 'unable to connect' message, pressing enter switched between 1st and 3rd person, but I couldn't leave the editor preview.

I had to force quite the game (losing my editor progress, because I forgot to save).

I experienced a similiar issue yesterday:

01. I created and saved a clean multiplayer mission with a respawn area (via description.ext),
02. created a player unit,
03. and placed a Zeus module (Owner: #adminLogged).
04. Now I previewed the mission,
05. changed to Zeus,
06. created a random AI unit,
07. remote controlled that unit,
08. and killed my own player.
09. Now my player got respawned.

  1. I got stucked in the player unit and wasn't able to move.
  2. I changed back to Zeus and tried to remote contol the AI unit.
  3. I wasn't able to move he AI unit.
  4. I had to disconnect and restart the mission.
