Dragging - When corpse disappears while carrying it, state not revert to normal from carrying. #11315

Mods (complete and add to the following information):

  • Arma 3: 2.20.152984 pref
  • CBA: 3.18.5 stable
  • ACE3: 3.20.2 stable

Description:
If the original corpse is deleted while player carrying a corpse, it becomes impossible to put the corpse down or return to the normal (not-carrying) state.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to ace arsenal (VR test range) from main menu
  2. Shoot and kill the target (VR Unit)
  3. Carrying it before it disappears
  4. Wait a little while and then drop the body
  5. The body has disappeared, but the carrying animation is still continuing

Expected behavior:
Ideally, if a unit is deleted, it should be forcibly reverted to its normal state. If there are no attached units, carrying should be canceled.

Where did the issue occur?

  • Virtual Arsenal

Log Files:

  • N/A

Additional context:
This was discovered while investigating the cause of an issue where players sometimes become unable to be put down when carrying them in MP due to a (possible) conflict between KAT-AdvMed, TSP Animate, and ACE.
While the direct relationship to this issue is unclear, the problem of states that should be canceled not being canceled is similar, and while it may not be the root cause of the above issue, it might serve as a preventative measure. (To strictly fix this, it would likely be necessary to disable the ability to carry patients in a Vehicle, a feature added by KAT-AdvMed.)
Anyway this issue can occur even without KAM or TSP.
