    Hey,

    Found out by accident, that the Engineer's Sentry persist through a class change and so I am able to have a Sentry as Soldier, Demoman or Medic.

    The problem is quite easy to re-create, just go Engineer and build your stuff. Once build just switch to a class that is not allowed on the server, Scout for example. It will not kill you and brings up the class change menu again, where you just want to pick the class you want to use, Soldier for example.

    And you are done. Now you have a Dispenser and a Sentry as a Soldier. It kinda breaks the map, since you can build your own plattforms, like I did in the screenshot and would make it much easier to do many jumps.

    This me, standing on my own plattform (sentry) in E1, which is normally not possible.

    Best regards,
    Bassad

    Marking as acknowledged.

    The fix itself shouldn't be too hard, the main problem is though that I have lost the source code of the plugin responsible.
    Will take a while to reverse engineer.

    Deployed an update on the server which should fix this issue.
    Marking as resolved.
