Okay so, I found
four different versions of DoomPawns.
tl;dr: found the latest one with most of the fixes and I think i fixed the bug.
I present to you, the fifth version of doompawns!

long story short -- I tweaked what is saved by changing what's transient in the DPawnDisplay class.
Before:
Code: Select all
class DPawnDisplay extends Actor
Transient;
// This variable is set after postbeginplay.
// Use owner on prebeginplay or postbeginplay.
var DoomPawns Renderer;
var Player RenderObject;
var byte AnimChange,LastCheckB; // Default 255
var bool bChecked,bHasDied;
var int NumFrames,LastFrame;
var float TimeLeft,AmountTime;
After:
Code: Select all
class DPawnDisplay extends Actor;
// This variable is set after postbeginplay.
// Use owner on prebeginplay or postbeginplay.
var DoomPawns Renderer;
var Transient Player RenderObject; //Do not save this variable, as it references an Object.
var byte AnimChange,LastCheckB; // Default 255
var Transient bool bChecked; //Do not save this variable, as if RenderObject is None from a savegame load, it will automatically be recreated.
var bool bHasDied;
var int NumFrames,LastFrame;
var float TimeLeft,AmountTime;
This works because of this code:
Code: Select all
simulated function Tick( float D )
{
local byte By;
local bool bAnimChanged;
local int Frame;
local float F;
local rotator TheNewRot;
// Check for render object
if( !bChecked )
{
bChecked = True;
RenderObject = Class'DRendering'.Static.GetPlayerOwner(Self);
if( RenderObject==None ) // Could be an dedicated server... cancel everything.
{
Disable('Tick');
Return;
}
}
tl;dr: RenderObject is a "Player", which is an Object. We cannot save Objects like that or else
very bad things happen. So, if we make just that variable transient, AND the checked flag transient, upon the first tick on reloading the level, it acts as if it was spawned the first time, even though it wasnt.
