Item Granters "Grant on Game Start" Works Unpredictably

Summary

The “grant on game start” setting for item granters oftentimes does not work as expected. There have been multiple instances where I have had to use a workaround like triggering a timer which triggers the item granter or using a player counter to grant when a player is counted. Despite the settings very clearly indicating a player should receive ‘x’ items on game start, the player simply does not. The granter works perfectly fine when triggered another way.

It’s also worth noting that sometimes it works fine. It’s usually on a map-by-map basis. Certain maps have the bug and some don’t.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Place item granter
  2. Select ‘grant on game start’

Expected Result

Player gets items from item granter on game start

Observed Result

Player does not receive items unless triggered through a workaround device
