group control not passed on when leader dies in MP

In v. 1.30, if you are in a MP mission in a squad of guys and the leader gets killed, some other member of the squad gets to be leader. If that person dies, someone else becomes leader, etc.

Unless you are on a dedicated server, in which case sometimes the leader dies and stays the leader. If you want to reproduce it, do this:

Make a 2 man squad. (Both men were playable when I did it. Don't know if the leader needs to be playable or not for this bug).

Play the mission on a dedicated server as the "not leader" character

Shoot your leader.

You never become leader. The little "leader" bracket in cadet mode stays on his body.

This also happens in non-dedicated servers, I have seen it on a mission hosted on one guy on ADSL.

He died, got a gull, and the leader bracket stayed with the dead body.

Frustrating, since you can not order the AI nor take the command :-/ (I was the only other human left, so I had to go on and leave the AI behind)

Maybe only in Cadet mode? Or only when no respawn is set?

Heh, if the leader dies someone else should become leader regardless of respawn or cadet settings...

This is really screwing my plans to have the squad leader get control of the radio. I guess I have to let every monkey in the squad have access to the radio triggers. Hopefully BIS will fix this...
