Bug with corpses?

[Tommynator]

I don't know if it's happening only on my server but sometimes I see invisible corpses that I can't identify.

Known issue. For some reason the game doesn't always remove ragdolls properly on the client when they get removed on the server. It's a gmod/Source bug, but it's so hard to reproduce (I've never gotten it to happen in my testing) that garry will never fix it.

I suppose I could write a concommand that you could run on your server when you see an invisible corpse. It would print some information to the console that might help me find a workaround.

Yeah, do it

If you see the message and not a body, as long as the server doesn't have something to make bodies invisible just ignore it :P

Do you run the SVN version? I just committed r1053, which should improve the hiding of these broken prop_ragdolls. If it all works correctly they won't show up on your target ID as "unidentified corpse" anymore. The only way to detect them now is hitting them with the crowbar somehow.

I was able to test this by hiding a normal corpse, so a special concommand won't be necessary.
