Skin Bug in the Currect script (Administrator attention would be appreciated)

[Pje_iceman]

Now for a while now I've been forced back to the same skin everytime i log on, and I've found out what causes this bug, but not yet any possible way to solve it.

Cause:
The cause is quite simple, if you enter the PD and go on duty (/duty) then go to the airport and start working as a driver (/driver) without going off duty first it will save your cop skin as a permanent skin.
This also happens if you do it vice versa (Driver to cop)

Bug:
This means that pressing F4 and commiting suicide (/kill) will only work untill you log off, then when you log back in the skin will be set back to cop.

Attempts to solve:
Going on duty and then off duty wont work either.
Neither will going on duty and become a driver too.
As above, suicide with F4 on will not work either.
Admins haven't found any simple solution to this yet.

Possible Solution:
Gandalf might be able to go into log/code database and delete your skin, and adding the default to you.


Admins I really hope you will find a solution to this problem, now you got both the cause and a little information about it.

Thanks for reading, all comments and feedback is welcome!
Actually Panda, Lionz & Austin made me aware of what caused the problems, without knowing it  ;D <3 to them.

This happens to me all the time, I fix it by going to the Selection screen and pressing shift on a new skin, then when you /q it saves it for you. I did this about 6 times and it worked, because I always get stuck in the cop skin. Also buying a skin will replace your cop skin. But log off or /q after you get it. Don't wait, cause if the game crashes then your back to the cop skin and you lost money.

If that doesn't work then You might be out of luck unless someone can fix it. though it works for me great.

You can go off duty then it will not spawn you as cop until you will not go on duty again...

You should not go on driver duty before going off duty as a cop and vice versa.
When you go on duty, the script saves your current skin.
If there will be a fix, it will be that you can not go on another duty before going off duty.

I'm aware of this now hehe, I weren't earlier, and a fix preventing duty and driving to be enabled at the same time would be appreciated.
Since you aren't able to get the old skin back - What am I supposed to do?

Buy a skin and then exit the game.

Pseudo(ish)code for possible fix

on driver duty

driver = 1

else driver =o

same for cop

if player tries to go on duty

if driver = 0
then
cop = 1
else if driver = 1
cop = 0

if driver = 1 set skin

if cop = 1 set skin

Looks like it could work, if you're thinking logical

Thanks worked But a solution like the one above would be good IMO ;D

Simple. Don't go to driver/cop duty while you are one of those..

Uhm? Please read through replies before posting so we don't end up with too many repeats.
