Early OnPlayerLoaded causes Save() before spawn is finalized (character select / relog)

[solayff]

Summary

OnPlayerLoaded is triggered too early during character selection, causing metadata-driven Save() to store hidden multichar coordinates instead of the player’s actual position.

Reproduction

1. Join the server and select a character.
2. Move to a different location or world.
3. Logout.
4. Rejoin and select the same character.
5. Player respawns at multichar hidden coordinates instead of the last saved location.

Expected behavior

Player position should only be saved after the final spawn location is applied, not during character selection or hidden multichar transitions.

Actual behavior

During character selection, OnPlayerLoaded triggers metadata updates (e.g. isdead/inlaststand) which call Save() before the spawn is finalized, overwriting the last valid position with multichar hidden coordinates.

Additional context

This is caused by qbx_medical scripts updating death-related metadata (isdead / inlaststand) immediately after OnPlayerLoaded.
Those metadata updates call Save() while the player is still at multichar hidden coords.

A simple delay (e.g. ~3 seconds) before triggering OnPlayerLoaded on the client side resolves the issue and ensures Save() runs after the final spawn.

I cannot reproduce this issue, logging out, logging in with the same character and choosing the last location I get at the last location.

Thanks for checking.

The first logout + selecting “last location” works correctly.
The issue does NOT appear on the first relog.

The problem occurs after repeating the flow at least one more time:

• Logout
• Login > select last location
• Logout
• Login again > select last location

After doing this twice, the player can respawn at the multichar hidden
coordinates instead of the real last position.

This happens because metadata updates (isdead / inlaststand) trigger Save()
during OnPlayerLoaded while the player is still in the multichar hidden spawn.

So please try logging out and selecting “last location” twice, not just once.

I have tried again:
Login & move somewhere
Logout
Login & move somewhere
Logout
Login & don't move
Logout
Still no issues as of now. I might be missing some details. (Also OnPlayerLoaded is not supposed to be triggered before the player loads in after location select.)

Thanks for taking the time to test and respond.

It might be an issue on my side, as I’m using an external multicharacter system rather than the built-in qbx_core one.
I’ll review my setup and code further to confirm whether the problem is caused by my custom multichar integration.

Appreciate your help and feedback.
