Devices
Summary
The team restriction settings on the Capture Item Spawner device seem to be ignored for players that have been downed but not completely eliminated.
This allows players to self-capture their own flag after eliminating the enemy who was carrying their flag.
Steps to Reproduce
NEEDS AT LEAST 3 PEOPLE TO REPRODUCE
-Enable Down But Not Out in your island.
-Place 2 Capture Item Spawners and 2 Capture Area devices, set the Capture Area devices to receive the flag item and drop the flag item into the Capture Item Spawner.
-Set team restrictions in the devices settings so only the opposing team can pickup your team flag.
-Make Team 1 grab Team 2 Flag.
-Make Team 2 player eliminate the player who grabbed the flag.
-Make Team 1 Player down Team 2 player.
-Now, the downed player should get to the dropped flag while crawling and grab their own flag.
-Bring their own flag to their own Capture Area (this shouldn’t be possible)
Expected Result
Players shouldn’t be able to pickup their own flag under any circumstance if the Capture Item Spawner device is set to only be picked up by the opposing team.
Observed Result
Players can pickup their own flag after the enemy dropped it, but only when downed (crawling)
Platform(s)

Additional Notes
Make sure to try a few times.
While it’s not a 100% recurring issue, it does happen from time to time and completely breaks that round in Capture The Flag.
Thanks
