Invulnerability Bug

Had someone have an invulnerability bug last night (twice I might add) where you end up on 1hp but unable to die to normal things. At first we thought it was just something random but have some ideas on what might have caused it. Not sure whether posting the stuff we think we know about it on here is the best thing, passing on game-breaking bug to the wide world tends to be bad.

Kudos to the marine team in that game btw not all going instantly haxhaxhaxhaxhaxhax and actually listening to us, and to the skulk in question who got bored after eating a couple of buildings and suicided.

    Was this a NS2 server, Combat or Classic?

    A standard NS Server, Hungry Onos if memory serves but I will try to check that later.

    Edit: Just replicated it on Ziegenfarm 2, and have pretty much ironed out what causes it and what doesn't.

    I can confirm that this happens. Had it happen to me twice. Can't really tell how I got into it. You stay at 1hp can no matter how many marines shoot at you, you don't die. I dunno how but after about 15 seconds it wears off or something I or someone else did caused it to wear off.

    There is no time limit for it, it is something else that makes it wear off.

    the flamethrower is the cause of it, and it only happens while your in feing death, essentially its a combination of the two. From what i understand the only way you can die is by the flamethrower that caused it.

    if(!feignDeath || onfire){
    diedieDIE
    }else{
    applyFeign
    }

    I'd be happy enough for feign death to be negated by a flamethrower.. makes sense
