Summary
My device uses phases that advance every new round with weakmap : (weak_map(player, phase_state) = map{})
Since I use Persistence let’s say that I’ve set that my PostProcess Device to be activated on phase 9 ( so round 9 ) with a code like this :
var PhaseMap : weak_map(player, phase_state) = map{}
@editableeditable
PostProcess : post_process_device = post_process_device{}
OnBegin():void =
****OnRoundBeginnAsync()
OnRoundBeginnAsync()
#-----code that advances the phase round by round so round1-phase1 , round2 - phase 2 etc ----
PostProcess.Disable() # this is here as a safety in case at round start the PP enables by itself
now this is a snippet of what happens when phase9 is picked
Phase9():void =
ItemGranterPh9.GrantItemToAll() ## here I give a sniper+shotgun #
PostProcess.Enable()
Sleep(20.0)
PostProcess.Disable()
Note : PostProcess Device is set to Enabled on Phase - None (so it only should enable,disable trough verse only ) .

Steps to Reproduce
Let’s say that the Player That Joins has Phase5 stored so when he joins my map and when game starts , the first round will have phase6 playing.
What goes wrong :
If the player doesn’t start with the first round being phase 9(which activates PP device) , the PostProcess Device simply doesn’t Activate at all .
PS: ( as a reference to better understand that it doesn’t trigger The PostProcess, in my videos [which i will paste below ] when Phase9 is “choosen” , I grant a specific loadout( sniper + shotgun) so that it is easier to see when Phase9 was choosen and when other phases occur . This will highlight that Phase9 is picked but doesn’t Activate The PostProcess and that it malfunctions.
In the videos i modified all the picking logic to choose Phase9 every new round so if my code originally did something like this :
if (NextPhase = 1):
Phase1()
else if (NextPhase = 2):
Phase2()
else if (NextPhase = 3):
Phase3()
Now it does :
if (NextPhase = 1):
Phase9()
else if (NextPhase = 2):
Phase9()
else if (NextPhase = 3):
Phase9()
In this video it is round 3 already(check the round counter icon) and since you can see that I’ve received the (sniper + shotgun loadout) this means Phase9 was picked ( so PostProcess Device should activate) but as you can see in the video it doesn’t activate.
In the Next Video i Quit the game , re-entered ( since i know that I’ve set all phases to be phase9 the next time i rejoin) .
As you can see in the video the game just started( Round 1), Phase9 was picked ( I got the specific loadout) and Now since it is Round 1 AND also the Phase9 occured in round 1 , the PostProcess Device triggers correctly ( this is the only time the PostProcess Device works).
Now when advancing to the next round , round 2 , round3 ( rounds which still will pick Phase9 ) the PostProcess doesn’t work anymore.
Here is the video that displays that in Round2 The PP doesn’t work anymore
So It seems that the bug/problem is that the Post Process Device Only Works If It is Triggered exactly at gamestart/first round and doesn’t work anymore past round 1/game start if it called through Verse ( could also not trigger even by using device events)
Expected Result
The PostProcess device should work correctly when triggered and should not be dependent on gamestart / first round to work properly.
Observed Result
The Post Process device only responds/works , if it is activated only on round 1 /game start. If the device is triggered on round2 for example , it doesn’t work .
