[2.1.0] Bug: Fly CMD won't work while chase cam is active

Post by Ghostrider231 »

This minor bug that i've found from completely pure messing around.

From what i've known, whenever i try to use the fly console command while using the built-in chase cam...

The fly command will keep saying gravity weighs you down. Unless i've disabled the chase cam itself.

This bug has been attempted in the offical release zdoom and it's latest dev builds. This bug doesn't seem to happen there.

This has been attempted with a clean gzdoom install (2.1.0), no pwads or anything. Same thing occurs.

I've even tried using the latest dev build of gzdoom (g2.2pre-446-g1098093). Same thing occurs.

However, if i try dev build "g1.10pre-461-g60104bb", the problem doesn't seem to occur there.

How to reproduce:
- enter any map, doesn't really matter which.
- Enter chase cam mode. (Or type, "chase" in the console)
- use the fly command. (type, "fly")
- It'll keep saying, "gravity weighs you down". (And yes, this keeps repeating if you try to type, "fly" again.
- You won't be flying at all.

This has NOTHING to do with rendering, i've tried this on a different computer. Same thing happens. (zdoom doesn't have this problem.)

The reason why i'm posting this minor bug thread because, i would've imagined how annoying it would be to just simply test your 3d floors map or something. Which you may sometimes need to use the chase cam command and may have to fly (In certain purposes).

This is an image of trying to use the fly command while the chase cam is active.

Using this as a bind command will pretty much do the same thing anyways.

I had noticed this effect, too, but didn't make the connection to the chasecam.

Fixed now.
