Zone Manager has been having some issues recently. If you are in a zone, the properties of the zone will follow you when you're outside. Happens either when walked out of zone or more often when Teleporting out of the zone with N-Teleportation. More often for admins it seems. Whatever flags were enabled in that zone follows around till either the client relogs or the entire plugin is restarted. Any fix for this?

This is the strangest bug ever.   So we are a PVE server and have a PVP 'zone' which allows killing and looting of players through TruePVE and PreventLooting.

Been like this forever.  Through dozens of maps, dozens of versions of those plugins, etc.

As of yesterday (only difference is a map wipe/change) things changed.  As always I move the zone to where it is for the new map.  I do this BEFORE we even go live (I do it on our test server where I configure the new map).  Then I copy over the data files when we go live.  Been doing it this way forever and never had an issue.  Until yesterday ....

Random players are being 'in the pvp zone' when nowhere near it.  And even weirder is someone else could be standing right next to them and NOT be in that zone.  And sometimes if they relog it goes away.  Sometimes it does not.

I have completely wiped all zones.  I then re-created the PVP zone, triple checked it is in the right place.  But the bug is STILL happening. 

And the worst part about it is, this is making players killable and lootable in places that are supposed to be safe.  But even worse, only to those affected by the bug.  So one person could be killed or be looted while the guy next to him (who is not experiencing the bug) cannot be harmed or looted.

This is a major problem and I just do not know what else to try to fix it.  Literally have re-created the zone from scratch and nothing worked.

OK completely different map now, completely new Zone Manager set up.  And it is still happening.  Random people are randomly being considered in a "zone" they are not in.  We only have one zone, it is a PVP zone.  It is way off in the corner.  Same maps we have run numerous times in the past.  Everything defined the same as before.  I even RE-CREATED the zone from scratch and a fresh zone manager install.

KEeps happeing

People keep getting considered in the PVP zone when they are clearly nowhere near it.  Relogging does not solve it.   I have to manually oxide.reload ZoneManager to fix it for them.

At least once per hour someone is getting this bug.  It is VERY detrimental because it allows them full PVP (killing looting etc.) as if they were in our PVP zone.  But the other players who are not bugged cannot fight back or do anything about it.

This is a HUGE issue.  Any word on why this started happening?

I ran into the same issue and did some investigating. It should only happen for rectangle zones. Round zones are working fine.
Root cause is the IsInsideBounds check that is not working as it should. Players fall asleep in their base, UpdatePlayerZones kicks in and because of the faulty IsInsideBounds check, players will get added to zones they are not in. I was able to replicate it with some debugging and found a solution that is working fine for me since ~2days.

OLD Version:

        private bool IsInsideBounds(Zone zone, Vector3 worldPos)
        {
            Vector3 localPos = zone.transform.InverseTransformPoint(worldPos);
            Vector3 delta = localPos - zone.bounds.center + zone.bounds.size * 0.5f;
            return Vector3.Max(Vector3.zero, delta) == Vector3.Min(delta, zone.bounds.size);
        }

NEW Version:

        private bool IsInsideBounds(Zone zone, Vector3 worldPos)
        {
            return zone.bounds.Contains(worldPos);
        }​

I have no idea why this started happening recently. The related code in ZoneManager is there for years...

Mine happens with round zones. Wouldnt that code break it as its not checking if outside the circumfrence 

I have tried rectangle and round zones.  And it is happening to players all the time.  Just randomly thinks they are in a zone when they are not.  If I reload the plugin it fixes it.  I had to make a temporary Battlemetrics trigger so my moderators could reload ZoneManager with a chat command it was causing so many problems.

k1llyou has updated tons of other less important plugins this week, wish he would come read this

Merged post

And actually now that I think about it, it is happening with BOTH zone shapes right now live on my server.  Our PVP zone is rectangle, and our "Town" zone to prevent building is a circle.  I am having players get flagged for PVP or "no build" when not in either zone randomly.
