[Map] Ceilings by Patrons teleport you to the ground

[baconandx]

Going near any ceiling within a short range of the Patrons' pit will instantly teleport you to the ground.

Areas that'll trigger the teleport include:

• Above the Patron's pit
• Spawn
• The two bits of cover before reaching Blue Guardians or Patron

Anything outside of those like the shrines or lower ceiling rooms will behave normally. It has to do with the higher ceilings.

Steps to Reproduce:​

1. Load into the main map "dl_midtown" through Standard, Street Brawl, Bot Match, or Custom Match
   • The match MUST have networking. Loading the map via console or Explore NYC will not work​
   • Private bot matches are the easiest to test this in.​
2. Use any method to reach higher than the Patron's head within the center of base.​

• Simple: Ride up the Blue zip line and air jump anywhere near its peak.​
• Technical: Use Magic Carpet, Warp Stone, Grapple, or anything that gives verticality right into the ceiling.​

​

I've included recordings of my findings when testing the size of the teleportation zone.

I was unable to test the ArchMother base as thoroughly for the sake of time but confirmed similar behaviors.

A weird note is it only happens in bot matches and real matches not "Explore NYC", so probably a networking issue?

Seems very much like a networking issue

I may be incorrect, but I was under the assumption that the 'Explore NYC' map and the actual play map are technically different maps, as they've occasionally featured minor differences. It's entirely possible this is a teleport trigger leftover from the old version of the map meant to prevent players from getting stuck on the ceiling. Whatever it is, it needs fixing asap.
