Strange anomaly in event behavior

Edited for simplicity after some discoveries.

The straferight and use events seem to be somehow linked. Any commands executed in the straferight event also appear to be executed in the use event automatically, even though no code has been setup for use.

From what you've said, there's no reason to suspect that a game event is misbehaving. I would start by checking to make sure that the use function and turn right function aren't sharing a key.

Yeah I thought of that, and they're not. The glitch also only happens while in vehicle mode. On foot, 'use' does not cause strafing.

And I just did a test on a fresh game.con with only the following added:

onevent EVENT_STRAFERIGHT
{
	 sound SQUISHED
}
endevent

Both keys produce the sound, even when I changed the keybind for use.

Excuse me for being too lazy to test that, but I still think it's a cfg issue. You used a fresh game.con but I'll bet your cfgs were the same.

Well I said I'd already tried rebinding the keys to ensure there was no conflict. So I purged the cfg files and let eduke generate new ones, and... the bug is still there.

OK, I tried it, and guess what? When I press STRAFE LEFT, it makes the sound, and when I press OPEN, it does not make the sound. Which is exactly what you would expect if there is no bug.

What keys do you have strafe and open assigned to?

It was EVENT_STRAFERIGHT, and I tried it just now with a fresh copy of Eduke32.

include DEFS.CON
include USER.CON

onevent EVENT_STRAFERIGHT
soundonce WAR_AMBIENCE6
endevent

Both use and strafing right make the sound. No conflict in .cfgs.
