[41.65] [MP] Player Zombies get up / teleport instantly after turning

[Auklin]

Summary: Player Zombies teleport to you shortly after turning

Environment: Build 41 Stable (Current Build)

 

Mods: None

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load into a multiplayer session
2. Have another player get bitten
3. Kill that player
4. Stand near their body
5. Observe as the zombie disappears, then reappears immediately lunging at you.

 

Expected Result: Player zombies should have the 'get up' animation

Actual Result: the zombie disappears, then reappears immediately lunging at you.

 

How to Fix: Do not stand near player zombies shortly after turning.

 

Speculation: I have seen the 'get up' animation for player zombies when far enough away. I think there is something clashing with the player zombie immediately aggro'ing after turning, causing a bug with which animation to play and thereby playing nothing at all.

Example: (not mine, but I've seen it happen on my server)
