Summary

Hello folks I have found this hilarious bug in my prop hunt game.

It causes some players in some rounds to appear as mini characters which is funny but it’s not intended and might cause issues.

I do not know the cause of the issue and it happens randomly. I followed the Prop Hunt tutorial from the documentation.

It has gotten worse since I made this post. Causing player’s screen to shake intensively causing potential seizures to those who are prone to it.

Additional Notes

This keeps happening after I published the game. Hope for a reply soon thank you! Sorry for not giving any details I just don’t know how this is happening.

I want to mark this as Urgent because it’s making my game not be playable sometimes due to seizure potential. The screen sometimes shakes a lot when the players shrink

I believe I have found the root to the issue.

When a player turns into a prop and the round ends with them being a prop it transfers over the SCALE of the prop over to the next round.

So the player will spawn the next round inheriting the SCALE of the prop they were after the round ended.

I have different SCALES for props in my map and sometimes they become HUGE or they become TINY depending on the scale of the prop.

They should fix the bug but also create this as a island setting or something this would be so cool in maps.

Lol for sure, I just confirmed that it happens with the PROP O MATIC tool that if you transform into an prop that has been scaled down or up, the player will inherit the scale of said prop
