Steps to Reproduce

Set

  • Spawn Limit: 1
  • Join in Progress Behavior: Spawn Immediatly
    in Island Settings

and have the following setup in the island

@editable
EliminationManager : elimination_manager_device = elimination_manager_device{}

#  OnBegin - Subscribe to elimination events
EliminationManager.EliminatedEvent.Subscribe(OnEliminatedEvent)
EliminationManager.EliminationEvent.Subscribe(OnEliminationEvent)

# Subscribe to join event
GetPlayspace().PlayerAddedEvent().Subscribe(OnPlayerAdded)

# Add callbacks
OnEliminatedEvent(Agent: agent): void=
        Print("GameManager:OnEliminatedEvent")

OnEliminationEvent(Agent: agent): void=
        Print("GameManager:OnEliminationEvent")

# Spawn joining players
OnPlayerAdded(Player:player):void=
        Print("OnPlayerAdded")
        Agent.Respawn(NewTranslation, NewRotation)

When a player joins a lobby the single spawn is exhausted.

if a player leaves the lobby and rejoins
Player Spawners will not respawn the player - which is fine
A manual respawn can be executed Agent.Respawn (via the PlayerAddedEvent)

When the player who rejoined is eliminated, the OnEliminatedEvent will not be invoked for that player.

So to reproduce: join the lobby with 2 players, have one leave and rejoin
once eliminated the rejoined player, the OnEliminationEvent will not be invoked -

Expected Result

Elimination Manager will invoke OnEliminatedEvent

Observed Result

Elimination Manager does not invoke OnEliminatedEvent
