Welcome to the ZDoom Forums!

See if you can see what is wrong with this screenshot:
*clicky the thumbnail*

Your crosshair is red even though you're at 97%!

... I somehow expected a screamer. :O

hi, switch that's already been pressed.

Yep. If you press the automap button at almost the same time as pressing the use key, the switch will activate, but the level won't end.

I have never seen such behaviour (in all my days). And now I tried to provoke it and still I failed. (As simultaneously as possible, or first use and then map, or first map and then use).
Then I tried the following console tricks (roughly from memory):

togglemap; wait 1; +use; wait 1; -use
+use;togglemap;wait 1;-use
togglemap;+use;wait 1;-use
+use;wait 1;togglemap;wait 1;-use

.. and some more. Didn't get that. I do wonder how you managed.

.... No, actually... Now I did it. Manually. Trying to hold one or the other while pressing the other while chargin at the switch. Hm. Bug report? Seems buggy.

And I have managed a couple of times by toggling the automap rapidly and pressing +use.

Effective provocation:
Console: alias freakmap "togglemap; wait 1; freakmap"
Console: freakmap
Now you're pressing that button on and off all the time. Now you can't end the level.

EDIT: Actually, you can. It probably happens only when turning automap on (or off), not both ways.

I'll file a report.

I posted a bug report on it a long time ago when it first happened to me. It was deemed unreproducible and dropped. For the slim chance of encountering the bug, it's not really a big deal to be fixed.

The problem, of course, is that a sceenshot is definitively not a screenshot.

For a moment there I thought you called out the original artwork as a fake... Well; the bug report is submitted, and a feasible means of reproduction (asexual) has been suggested.

Holy shit. Took me a few attempts but I did it. Fascinating find, this.
