Thank you, can I get the rpt lines before the isGroupLeader check lines? I will try to get rid of the isGroupLeader spam.

Sure, here are the preceding lines:

15:52:17 "Battle generated - setting up player features"
15:52:18 "Battle generated, waiting for RYD_WS_SideA"
15:52:18 "RYD_WS_SideA available: WEST"
15:52:18 "Communication menu items added"
15:52:19 "Takeover system functions ready"
15:52:19 "Takeover system variables ready"

Bobby, can you add me on discord so I can send you beta builds? @atlas01actual

@Atlas - set your discord to accept incoming requests.

While it tries to change the unit that you are playing after death, the script error appears in the WS_PlayerTakeover file at line 1384:
waitUntil {sleep 0.05; group _player == _aiGroup};

On it right now, this is most likely the culprit of all the issues you mentionned. I made some last minute changes and did not playtest it with multiple players

Fixed with 1.2.1 Hotfix

Thanks for the update, the new soldier select system is much better.

1 major issue I've found, 100% of the time when using dedicated server I am invincible and take no damage. Local Coop Server worked fine. I tested with no mods.

I see an explicit call to make the player vulnerable in the client rpt. (Server rpt didn't have any corresponding log entry at that same time)

From Client rpt:

21:21:40 "WS_PTO: Player playerName opening spectator selection (cancelable: false)"
21:21:40 "WS_PTO: Target side determined as WEST"
21:21:46 "WS_PTO: Player playerName selected leader AI - will make them leader"
21:21:46 "WS_PTO: Made player playerName vulnerable"
21:21:47 "WS_PTO: Player playerName is now leader of group B Alpha 1-3"
21:21:47 "WS_PTO: Syncing 0 tasks to player(s)"
21:21:47 "WS_PTO: Takeover complete - playerName joined group B Alpha 1-3"

Server rpt:

I checked the sqf function and re-ran all the 'vulnerable' checks manually via console and I still didn't take damage. allowDamage was true, no damage eventhandler, no ACE/mods etc.

It seems it may work after a respawn (I set damage manually to kill myself)


-----====------

2nd issue I was still getting booted from vehicles (told to dismount) after changing new role/soldier. I believe you fixed this same type of issue before, hopefully same root cause.

Thanks for the updates.
