Summary

Class selector appears to be failing when same class is selected more than once.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place several class selectors and define various load outs and health/shield/gravity/speed settings (there are 5 in the subject Island)
  2. Place and configure a Class Selector UI Device
  3. At spawn, select a class.
  4. Upon elimination, select the same class again.

Expected Result

The player should be able to select the same class as many times in a row as they please.

Observed Result

After the first time using the class, every consecutive time the same class is selected the player will spawn with no class. The load out is empty, and health/shields/speed/gravity are all normal. As soon as the player selects a different class, they spawn with the correct class. They can then go back and select the first class again without issue (until they try to select the same one twice in a row again).

As a workaround, I created an extra class that is not visible to the player. On elimination, the player is automatically switched to that class before they select a new one. This breaks the ‘chain’ of consecutive class selection, and the player can select any class.

Still seems like a bug, though…
