(v49) Radar booster's "flash" command prompts to buy flashlight instead

[Danizk0]

Me and my friends were trying to find a way to make use of this thing, but with it already being a gimmicky tool, we also discovered that using the "flash" command would sometimes prompt us to buy a flashlight instead. Eventually it resulted in me getting killed by a forest giant. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there some trick to avoid this?

Are you sure you wrote the name of the booster correctly? Sometimes if you don’t name it correctly it will prompt you to buy a flashlight

If the radar boosters name is John, when I put flash John it works, but if I put flash Jonh I get prompted to buy a flashlight

Pretty sure, yeah. I had it copypasted and sometimes it would work, while other times it wouldn't. If it worked once, it would continue working, seemingly only resetting after someone deactivated it, after which it would be a gamble again.

Maybe it has something to do with copy and pasting? I’m not sure, I’ve got to test this out later since it seems like an interesting bug.

Most likely if it happens it has to do something with how it interprets the text when it’s copy and pasted and instantly reads flash whereas typing it out reads the whole thing.

That seems highly unlikely. If I were to make a guess, I'd say it happens because the radar booster's name seems to get set to "unknown" when it is deactivated.
