[0.4.0] [SW] "levelwarp" turns the player into zombie

[sinisterseed]

Using "levelwarp" to warp to a map after dying turns the player into a zombie, being able to live with 0hp and yet still play normally (even die normally) instead of getting fully revived.

The command also preserves the amount of health the player had on the map they warped from, but I think that's intended behavior?

The lack of ambient sounds on the map can also be easily spotted, as reported here - viewtopic.php?f=340&t=67311

And this red keycard panel seen behind the red door in the sewers of the same map can vanish/appear depending on the angle (I accidentally replaced my save file, ooops) - https://i.imgur.com/5PHQnmN.png

Found something interesting while investigating something else, heh.

Apparently a similar result can be achieved in VoidSW when using the "swtrek##" cheat. I wonder if this is somehow related.

It is, because levelwarp pretty much enters the swtrek cheat.

But doesn't this just work around the issue instead of properly fixing it? Ideally (IMO anyway) when warping to a map dead the player should be respawned.

Lowskill - I admire your dedication to the testing and bug reporting, but this is such a high level of nit picking.

It's a debug command - it ultimately doesn't really matter how glitched it is.

Remember: This is still a Build engine game. Program flow is a lot less flexible than in Doom.
You have to make some sacrifices.

It didn't look like a nitpick-tier question to me, but ok.

Fair enough, then it stays that way.
