Weird Trigger Behaviour

[ffcmike]

This is not necessarily a bug, and I also noticed this as a result of a mistake, but imagine quit(); being invoked in the following scenario:

PHP Code:

function onActionServerside(temp.param){
  if(temp.param == "quit"){
    temp.obj = this.cache.(@ player.account);
    //really should have - temp.obj.playerlist.remove(player);
    for(temp.pl : temp.obj.playerlist){
      temp.pl.triggerclient("gui", this.name, "takeWeapon");
    }
  }
}

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onActionClientside(temp.param){
  if(temp.param == "takeWeapon"){
    this.takeWeapon();
  }
}

function quit(){
  triggerserver("gui", this.name, "quit");
  this.takeWeapon();
}

function takeWeapon(){
  this.doRandomStuff();
  this.destroy();
} 


So basically, this script is destroying the weapon on your client, after sending a trigger to the server in order to send a trigger to the clients within a list of players, including yourself.

The problem I've noticed is that due to the weapon already being destroyed on your client, the triggerclient from the server is actually being invoked the next time you have the weapon added to you. In this case, it would cause the weapon to destroy itself upon being added to you a 2nd time.

Does it still do that if you remove the weapon rather then destroy it?
