[duplicate] damaging a player by their changed TID

[chopkinsca]

I've found something odd that only happens in a new game when the noskillmenu is used. I have a script that damages the player according to their changed tid (tid changed in an enter script). It works fine if I warp to any map and use it, but if I start a new game, it doesn't work properly.

First I was using damagething, and that simply didn't damage the player. Using thing_damage instead, gzdoom now crashes whenever it tries to damage the player.

The attached map should clear up anything I didn't explain well. The switch in the first map takes you to the second level. The second map changes the player's tid in an enter script, and the switch does a thing_damage on the player's new tid.

If you warp to the second map in any way, or change the mapinfo to start the episode on map02, the crash doesn't happen.

Anything concerning assigning a Tid to the player is broken in 1.0.10.

See here. Since this is most likely the same problem I am closing this report as there is nothing I can do for now.

Oh doh, this explains alot of things.
