[1.7.1.5] Helicopter Teleportation and Fall Damage

[thorgold 91]

Date/Time: 8:30pm CST

What happened: Briefly teleported 75m in the air, teleported back, fall damage taken. Repeated three times.

Where you were: Devil's Castle gatehouse

What you were doing: Looting, nothing in particular

*Current installed version: 1.7.1.5

*Server(s) you were on: TX 4

*Timeline of events before/after error: Me and four other guys rode in on a helicopter from NEA to Devil's Castle. There wasn't any desync on the ride, and we landed smoothly on top of the tower and disembarked. I noticed some oddities with the other players (they slid instead of showing normal animations) despite good pings for me and them.

We ran around a bit, and the zombies behaved normally - they didn't slide around. I went to the gatehouse, when the error occurred.

I teleported back to the air where the chopper was (except the model and castle tower weren't there), where I could also see the other players with me, as though we were all sitting in the invisible chopper (though all but one said nothing was happening). I then teleported back to the gatehouse, taking 2,000 damage, shock, bleeding, and broken bones.

This repeated twice more, until I had 7,928 blood, at which point I was told I was dead. One other person said he was also dying to fall damage, though the others said our bodies were nowhere to be found (unconfirmed, they may have lied and looted us).

I disconnected 5 minutes later.
